Using the Passport 8100 Modules
D-2 204515-C
Installing a GBIC
The Passport 8108GB module has eight bays for installing GBICs. The GBIC
bays are covered by spring-loaded filler panels that rotate out of the way as you
push the GBIC into place. You can install or replace a GBIC in an operating
switch module without powering down the switch.
To install a GBIC:
1. Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
2. Insert the GBIC into the slot on the module (Figure D-2).
GBICs are keyed to prevent improper insertion. If the GBIC resists pressure,
do not force it. Remove it, turn it over, and reinsert it.

Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure
your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume
that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source.
