Attaching the GBIC Clip

Each GigaStack GBIC ships with a removable clip that can be attached to provide
extra security against accidental cable removal. If you use the clip, you must
attach it before inserting the GBIC into the slot.

Attach the clip as follows:

Step 1

Attach the clip to the GBIC by carefully inserting the clip tabs into the slots on
either side of the GBIC, in the orientation shown in

Figure 2-3

. Slide the clip

toward the port side of the GBIC.

Step 3

Swing the GBIC clip up toward the GBIC so that the alignment bump in the clip
seats in the indentation on the GBIC bottom.
