This chapter describes how to remove and install a GBIC. It also describes how to
remove a hub.
3.1 Installing a GBIC
1. Choose the hub port into which you will install the GBIC.
Although the ports in a hub are electrically equivalent, follow any configuration
guidelines that may have accompanied the other hardware in your configuration.
If you are connecting the GBIC to a Sun StorEdge A5000 Disk Array, refer to the Sun
StorEdge A5000 Disk Array Hardware Configuration Guide, part number 805-0264-xx.
2. Insert the GBIC into the port.
Sun currently ships two types of GBICs: one with a bailed locking mechanism and
one without.
GBICs are keyed to prevent improper insertion; they can only be installed as shown
in
FIGURE 3-1 and FIGURE 3-2.
Caution – Forcing a GBIC into a port can damage the GBIC and/or port. Use
minimal pressure when inserting the GBIC.
