Installation and Configuration Note for the Catalyst 4000 Layer 3 Services Module

Removing and Installing a Layer 3 Services Module
To install a GBIC, perform these steps:
Step 1
Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
Step 2
Verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network by checking the part number: WS-G5484
(1000BASE-SX), WS-G5486 (1000BASE-LX/LH), or WS-G5487 (1000BASE-ZX).
Step 3
Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger; insert the GBIC into the slot on the front
of the module (see Figure 7). GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Note
A maximum of 12 1000BASE-ZX GBICs are supported in a switch chassis.

Step 4
Slide the GBIC through the flap covering the slot opening. Continue sliding the GBIC into the slot
until you hear a click. The click indicates that the GBIC is locked in the slot.
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no
cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open
apertures.
Step 5
When you are ready to attach the fiber-optic cable, remove the optical bore plug from the GBIC. Save
the plug for future use.
Note
If you are connecting the 1000BASE-LX/LH (WS-G5486) GBICs to an MMF
network, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord.
You have now completed the installation of a GBIC in to a Catalyst 4003 or Catalyst 4006 module.
Mode-Conditioning Patch Cord
When using the LX/LH GBIC with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning
patch cord (Cisco product number CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between the GBIC and the MMF
cable on both the transmit and receive ends of the link. The patch cord is required for link distances
greater than 984 feet (300 meters). For more information on the patch cord, see the
Catalyst 4003 and
4006 Switch Installation Guide
