Installing Mini-GBICs
There are three types of mini-GBIC interfaces:
•
SX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-SX standard
•
LX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-LX standard
•
ZX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the IEEE 802.3z standard
Use only Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBICs, available from Extreme Networks, in the mini-GBIC
port in the switch or module.

Preparing to Install or Replace a Mini-GBIC
To ensure proper installation, complete the following tasks before inserting the mini-GBIC:
1
Disable the port that is needed to install or replace the mini-GBIC.
2
Inspect and clean the fiber tips, coupler, and connectors.
3
Prepare and clean an external attenuator, if needed.
In addition to these tasks, Extreme Networks recommends the following when installing or replacing
mini-GBICs on an active network:
mini-GBICs on an active network:
•
Use the same type of mini-GBIC at each end of the link.
•
Connect one end of the link to the Tx port. Without an attenuator, measure the total loss from the Tx
port to the other site of the link. The total loss must not exceed the total optical system budget.
port to the other site of the link. The total loss must not exceed the total optical system budget.
•
When you handle fiber optic cable, do not stretch the fiber.
•
Make sure the bend radius of the fiber is not less than 2 inches (5.08 cm).
