Installing a GBIC

This section describes how to install GBICs in the Catalyst 4000 Layer 3 Services module.
Handling a GBIC
When handling a GBIC, remember these facts:
Installing GBICs
GBICs are hot-swappable in the Catalyst 4000 Layer 3 Services module. GBICs have a lifetime of 100
to 500 removals and insertions, so to prevent premature failure of the GBIC, do not remove or insert the
GBIC unnecessarily.
When removing or inserting a GBIC, always wear an ESD wrist strap connected to the Catalyst 4003
or Catalyst 4006 switch ESD wrist strap connector.

GBICs are static sensitive.
GBICs are dust sensitive. When the GBIC is stored or when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in,
always keep plugs in the GBIC optical bores.
The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules
of the optical connectors. Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the optical
connector.
