Figure 4: GBIC Orientation
3. Slide the GBIC through the port door and plug it into the 20-pin
connector (not visible) on the host circuit board until it is firmly
seated.
If the GBIC does not install easily into the port, do not force it. Instead, try
removing it and inverting the GBIC’s orientation.
4. If you are not going to install cabling immediately, leave the supplied
protective plug in place.
The protective plug is used to shield the laser from view and to protect the
optical components from dust.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all GBICs that you want to install.
