Installing GBICs
A GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port,
linking the module port with a fiber-optic network. Use only McAfee-approved GBICs
either purchased from McAfee or from certified vendors.
Note:
To ensure compatibility, McAfee supports only those GBICs purchased
through McAfee or from a McAfee-approved vendor. For a list of approved
vendors, see the on-line KnowledgeBase, Mcafee Support Site.

These installation instructions provide information for installing a GBIC that uses two
clips for securing the GBIC in place in the sensor. Your GBIC may be slightly
different. Check the manufacturer’s installation instructions for more details.
Installing a GBIC
►
To install a GBIC that has clips, follow these steps:
1
Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
2
Ensure the GBIC is the correct model for your network.
3
Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger and insert the GBIC
into the module socket.
GBICs are generally keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

bore and save the plug for future use.
