Connecting the SFP Mini-GBIC Module to the Chassis:

The optional SFP Mini-GBIC modules are hot-swappable, so you can plug or unplug them
while the power is applied to the switch.

1. Verify that the mini-GBIC module is compatible with the SFP port on the switch (for

example, some switch manufacturers design their mini-GBIC modules to be operable only
in their branded devices).

2. Verify that the type of mini-GBIC you have selected for use will be compatible with the type

of fibre optic cable that is to be used.

3. Verify that the type of mini-GBIC you have selected for use will be compatible with the

fibre optic transceiver at the other end of the link (e.g. – compatible wavelength and

standard)

4. Slide the module along the slot and ensure that the module is properly seated against the

SFP slot socket/connector.

5. Install the media cable for network connection

6. Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each module to be installed into the switch
