Installing a GBIC Transceiver
To install a GBIC transceiver in an AT-MC1008/GB converter, perform the
following procedure:
Note
The GBIC transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to
power off the AT-MC1008/GB converter to install a transceiver.
However, always remove the cables before removing the
transceiver.
Note
When a GBIC transceiver establishes a link, the corresponding
twisted pair port changes its MissingLink state. A link established
on a GBIC port always takes priority over an existing link on a
twisted pair port.
Note
You must install GBIC the transceiver before you connect cables to
it.
1. Remove the GBIC transceiver from its shipping container and store
the packaging material in a safe location.
Caution
A GBIC transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
transceiver.
