28 IBM Netfinity FAStT500 RAID Controller Enclosure Unit Installation Guide
To install a GBIC, do the following:
1 Remove the protective cap from the GBIC, as shown in the following illustration.
2 If the GBIC you are installing has a metal latch, move the latch to the unlocked (center)
position. Slide the GBIC into the port; then, rotate the latch outward to the locked
position (flush with the rear of the GBIC).
Attention: To avoid damage to your fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:
• Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
• When attaching to a device on slides, leave enough slack in the cable so that it does not
bend to a radius smaller than 76 mm (3 inches) when extended or become pinched
when retracted.
• Route the cable away from places where it can be snagged by other devices in the rack.
• Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius smaller than 76 mm
(3 inches).
• Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point and be sure that it is well
supported.
