GBIC
GBICs may be removed and replaced with the power on and the Switch operating
without disrupting traffic on other ports.
Removal
1. Disconnect the cable (if one is connected) from the GBIC you are
removing.
2a. Removing GBICs that have individually operated latches. See Step 2b for
GBICs with bails.
The typical GBIC is represented in the drawing below. You must press both
latches in order to remove the GBIC.
Using the thumb and forefinger of one hand, grasp the GBIC Latches and
squeeze them toward the center of the GBIC. While squeezing, withdraw
the GBIC from the chassis.
When the GBIC is withdrawn, a small spring-loaded door will close the
opening.
Note: The force required to overcome the friction of the pins in the GBIC
connector and withdraw it from the chassis may be more than you can exert
without your fingers slipping off the latches. If you have trouble, try a piece
of double-backed tape under your thumb and forefinger to get a better grip
on the GBIC. Do not use pliers or similar tools. You may damage the GBIC.
