Procedure job aid: GBIC models

GBICs are hot-swappable input/output enhancement components designed
for use with Nortel products to allow Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with
other Gigabit Ethernet ports over various media types. The following table
describes supported GBICs. For specifications for these GBICs, see

"GBIC

specifications" (page 63)
