4.4.2
Removing a GBIC Optical Port
To remove an GBIC optical port, do the following:
CAUTION
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before performing installing or re-
moving components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause se-
rious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
1. Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to
prevent an electrostatic discharge (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing
an ESD-preventive wrist trap connected to either the chassis ground connector
or a bare metal surface on the router/switch.
2. Disconnect the cable from the port and install the dust cap to the cable end.
3. Squeeze the latches on either side of the port and pull it from the socket.

4. Store the port in an ESD-safe bag or other suitable ESD-safe environment, free
from moisture and stored at the proper temperature (-40 to 85 °C or -40 to 185
°F).
5. Insert a dust plug into the socket opening to prevent the ingress of dust and dirt.
