The mini-GBICs can be "hot swapped". That is, they can be installed or
removed after the Module is installed in the switch and the module is receiving
power, see page 21.You can "hot-swap" one module for another; that is, replace
one module with another while the switch is still powered on, without inter-
rupting the operation of the rest of the switch ports, see
to reconfigure the switch if the modules are not the same type, check your
configuration.
You can install the modules into the switch either with the switch powered on
or off. The following procedures assume the switch is powered on.
1. Install the modules in a switch slot
If you have installed any modules into slots that were previously occupied
by a different type module, you need to reset the switch.
2. If you are using the zl Module that supports mini-GBICs, install the mini-
GBICs in the module. You can install the mini-GBICs before or after
installing that module into the switch
3. Verify the modules are installed correctly
4. Connect the network cabling
5. Verify the network connections are working properly
6. Optionally, customize the configuration for the modules' ports (unless
the default port configuration is satisfactory for your network application
