•  Hardware and Cable Installation 
•  Management Station Installation 
•  Software booting and configuration  

 

⇒ Wear a grounding strap to avoid damaging the switch with an electrostatic discharge 
⇒ Be sure that the power switch is in the ‘OFF’ position before you insert the power cord 

Installing Optional SFP Mini-GBIC Modules

 

• 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 manufacturer’s 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.
