Installing a GBIC Optical Port
To install a GBIC optical port, do the following:
CAUTION
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Use only components certified by Siemens with RUGGEDCOM products. Damage to
the module and device may occur if compatibility and reliability have not been prop-
erly assessed.
CAUTION
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before installing or removing compo-
nents from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to
the component once it is outside the chassis.
NOTICE
Only install GBIC optical ports that are compatible with the RUGGEDCOM RSG2200.
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.
