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

Caution –

Forcing a GBIC into a port can damage the GBIC and/or port. Use

minimal pressure when inserting the GBIC.
