Installing or Replacing a Mini-GBIC
You can install or replace mini-GBICs in a Summit48si switch, BlackDiamond G16X
3
module, or Alpine
GM-16X
3
module without powering off the system. Figure 180 shows the two types of mini-GBICs.

CAUTION
Mini-GBICs can emit invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam.
NOTE
Mini-GBICs can be installed only in the SFP mini-GBIC receptacles.
To insert a mini-GBIC:
1 Holding the mini-GBIC by its sides, insert the mini-GBIC into the SFP receptacle on the switch or
module.
2 Slide the mini-GBIC into the SFP receptacle until you hear an audible click, indicating that the
mini-GBIC is securely seated in the SFP receptacle.
3 If the mini-GBIC has a handle, push up on the handle to secure the mini-GBIC.
If the mini-GBIC port status LED is blinking amber on a Summit48si switch, a BlackDiamond G16X
3
module, or an Alpine GM-16X
3
module, the mini-GBIC installed in the switch or module is not
approved, supported, or certified by Extreme Networks. To correct this problem, install an Extreme
Networks-certified mini-GBIC.
If you install a mini-GBIC not certified by Extreme Networks in an Alpine GM-16X
3
module and
connect a cable to bring up the link, the port status LED remains off and an error specifying the use of a
non-Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC is sent to the syslog. To view the syslog and to determine
why the link is down, use the
show log
command. To correct this problem, install an Extreme
Networks-certified mini-GBIC, available from Extreme Networks.
