(such as an equipment rack).

2. Disconnect the copper or fiber cable connector from the port connector.

3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.

4. Pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port by pulling the bail latch forward, away from

The bail latch may be attached to either the top or the bottom of the mini-GBIC.

5. Grasping the bail latch, pull the copper or fiber optic module out of the port.

6. Store the copper or fiber optic module in a safe, static-free place or in an anti-static bag.
