Getting Started Guide
3. Slide the GBIC out of the slot.
4. Install the plugs in the GBIC optical bores, and place the GBIC
in protective packaging.
2.8.3 GBIC Care and Handling
Follow these GBIC maintenance guidelines:
•
Unnecessary removal and insertion of a GBIC can lead to
its premature failure. A GBIC connector has a lifetime of
100 to 500 removals/insertions
•
GBICs are static-sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, follow
your normal board and component handling procedures
•
GBICs are dust-sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or
when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep
plugs in the GBIC optical bores
•
Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of
the optical connector. The most common source of con-
taminants in the optical bores is debris picked up from the
optical connectors
