CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before
installing or removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious
damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
IMPORTANT!
Only install GBIC optical ports that are compatible with the RUGGEDCOM RSG2100PF.
1. Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to prevent electrostatic discharges
(ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing an ESD-preventive wrist strap connected to either the chassis
ground connector or a bare metal surface on the router/switch.
2. Remove the dust cover from the port opening in the module.
3. Remove the port from its packaging.
CAUTION!
Mechanical hazard – risk of component damage. GBIC optical ports are designed to insert in only
one orientation. Do not force the port into the module.
4. Remove the dust plug from the socket and store for future use.
5. Squeeze the latches on either side of the port and insert the port into the socket.
