Installing, Removing, and Maintaining GBICs
To install a GBIC, perform these steps:
Step 1 Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
Step 2 Verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network by checking the part
number.
The part number indicates whether it is 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, or
1000BASE-ZX.
Step 3 Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger; insert the GBIC into
the slot on the front of the module.
See Figure 4-2 for GBIC installation on a Catalyst 2948G switch. See Figure 4-3
for GBIC installation on a Catalyst 2980G switch.
Note GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect slot insertion. See Figure 4-4.
