Replacing a GBIC Module
GBIC modules are installed and removed by inserting them into the system board
from the front of the unit. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps are
generated upon GBIC insertion and removal.
Removing a GBIC Module
1. Pull down the metal swing bar on the front of the GBIC and pull it out, as shown
in Figure 6-2.
2. Carefully wiggle the GBIC from side to side to unseat it.

GBIC out, as shown in Figure 6-3.

Installing a GBIC Module
To install a GBIC module with squeeze prongs, insert the GBIC module into the port
until its connector is firmly seated into the appropriate port. The latch prongs will lock
and prevent the GBIC’s accidental removal.
NOTE: The GBIC module is keyed so it can be inserted in only one way. Do not force
the insertion if the module does not slide in easily.
