Replacing a failed GBIC
CAUTION:
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or
transmitters) are installed, note the following:
– Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result
in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the
device.
– Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
When instructed by the storage-management software, replace a GBIC in the mini-hub.
Attention: To prevent possible data loss, do not pull cables from a GBIC that has not
failed.
1 Remove the fiber-optic cable from the GBIC that has failed; then, replace the
protective caps on the cables.
Note: If you are using IBM GBICs, you must remove the fiber-optic cable from the
GBIC before you can remove the GBIC from the mini-hub port.
DANGER
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B
laser diode. Note the following.
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view
directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the
beam.
