CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING GIGABIT ETHERNET
C
ABLES
To connect a Gigabit Ethernet cable to a mini-GBIC connector transceiver port:
1. Hold the cable clip firmly but gently between your thumb and forefinger, with
your thumb on top of the clip and your finger under the clip. (Do not depress the
clip ejector on top of the clip.)
2. Slide the clip into the transceiver port until it clicks into place. Because the fit is
close, you may have to apply some force to seat the clip. Apply force evenly and
gently to avoid clip breakage.
To remove the cable from the transceiver port:
1. Make sure the black transceiver ejector under the port is not pressed in;
otherwise, when you attempt to remove the cable, the transceiver might come
out with the cable still attached.
2. Hold the cable clip firmly but gently between your thumb and forefinger, with
your thumb on top of the clip and your finger under the clip.
3. Use your thumb to gently press the clip ejector on top of the clip, down, and then
forward. This action loosens the clip from the transceiver port.
4. Pull the clip from the transceiver port.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING A MINI-GBIC TRANSCEIVER
To remove a mini-GBIC transceiver from a module:
1. Push in the black ejector (located on the underside of the transceiver) until it
locks into place, disengaging the transceiver.
2. Grasp the transceiver at both sides, and then pull the transceiver toward you to
remove it from the module.
To install a mini-GBIC transceiver into a module:
1. Grasp the transceiver with the label facing up, and then insert it into the
transceiver slot until seated.
2. Check to see if the black transceiver ejector extends fully out to the front of the
ejector slot, flush with the port portion of the transceiver.
