GBIC Overview
A GBIC converts internal electrical signals to external electrical or
optical signals for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The
Fibre Channel cable inserts into the connector of the GBIC module.
There are several types of GBIC modules currently available that can
be used in the Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G. GBICs are hot pluggable,
which means they can be plugged into, or pulled out of the adapter
while the power is applied. GBICs are available from qualified third-
party vendors.
WARNING: Do not remove or insert the adapter while power
is applied. If you do switch GBICs while the system is
powered up, make sure the adapter is secured in the PCI
slot. If the adapter is not secured in the PCI slot, damage
may occur to the adapter and possibly the system’s logic
board.
