Mini-Gigabit Interface Connector

(Mini-GBIC) Installation Note

You can add and remove mini-GBICs from your Extreme Networks switch without powering

off the system. There are two types of mini-GBIC interfaces: the LX mini-GBIC, which conforms

to the 1000BASE-LX standard, and the SX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-SX

standard. The mini-GBIC connector, which is shown in Figure 1, is the same for both types of

mini-GBIC interfaces.

Figure 1: Mini-GBIC module

Mini-GBICs are a Class 1 laser device. Use only Extreme-approved devices.

Remove the LC fiber-optic connector from the mini-GBIC prior to removing the

mini-GBIC from the port.

Mini-GBICs can emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to beam.

If you see an amber blinking mini-GBIC port status LED on your Extreme Networks

switch or you receive an error message when you install a non-Extreme-supported

mini-GBIC, you do not have an Extreme-supported mini-GBIC installed in your switch. To

correct this problem, make sure you install an Extreme-supported mini-GBIC into the port

on the switch.

To remove the mini-GBIC connector, gently push in the plastic tab at the bottom of the

connector and pull the mini-GBIC out of the port on the switch.

To insert a mini-GBIC connector:

1 Holding the mini-GBIC by its sides, insert the mini-GBIC into the port on the switch.

2 Slide the mini-GBIC into the port, until you hear it click.
