To install a CWDM GBIC in the switching module:
1 Remove the CWDM GBIC from its protective packaging.
2 Verify that the CWDM GBIC is the correct wavelength for
your network configuration (Table 1 on page 7).
3 Remove the dust cover from the CWDM GBIC’s optical
bores.
4 To prevent damage during handling, clean the ferrules of the
optical connector with an alcohol swab.
5 Grasp the CWDM GBIC between your thumb and forefinger.
6 Insert the CWDM GBIC into the slot on the front panel of the
Gigabit Ethernet switching module (Figure 3). A clicking
sound indicates it is properly seated.
The CWDM GBIC is installed.
For instructions about connecting the CWDM GBIC to a
multiplexer, see Installation and Networking Guidelines for
Optical Routing, part number 212257-A.
For instructions about monitoring communication between
the CWDM GBIC and the switch, see the user’s guide for the
switch.
Note: CWDM GBICs are keyed to prevent improper
insertion. If the CWDM GBIC resists pressure, do not
force it. Remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it.
