NOTE: There is no provision for surge protection built into the switch's power supply. An installation should include normal
provisions to ensure uninterrupted power.
Site Location
The switch should be installed in a secure or limited access site to control unauthorized access to the
switch's cabling and power connections.
Installing a GBIC Module with Power On
Each interface card supports two G_Ports or FL_Ports, and their respective interchangeable GBIC modules.
The GBIC module uses standard SC or HSSDC connectors.
A GBIC module can be inserted while the switch is operational (power on).
CAUTION: The GBIC module is keyed so it can be inserted into the interface card in only one way. Do not force
the insertion if the GBIC module does not slide in easily.
