Replacing a GBIC Module
Replacement GBIC modules for the Fibre Channel SAN Switches must be ordered
separately. The Compaq part number for the shortwave optical GBIC module for
multi-mode cable is 380561-B21. Two longwave GBIC modules and a short single-mode
test cable can be ordered in a kit (part number 340412-B21).
In the Switch Management Application page of the Web Management Tools, the GBICs
are identified differently depending on the type of GBIC and the supplier. Some examples
of the displays include “ID” for VIXEL short wave GBICs and “SW” for IBM shortwave
GBICs.
CAUTION:
The GBIC module contains static-sensitive components. Use electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions while handling the GBIC module.
Removing a GBIC Module
If you are using a GBIC module with a locking bar, pull down the metal swing bar on the
front of the GBIC and pull out the bar. Carefully move the GBIC module slightly from
side to side to unseat it. Figure 4–1 shows a GBIC module with locking bar.
