Chapter 3 Installing the Switch
Note
Position the GBIC transceiver in front of the socket opening and insert the GBIC transceiver into the
Step 5
socket until you feel the GBIC transceiver module connector snap into place in the socket connector.
Note For optical GBIC transceivers, before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections,
observe the following guidelines:
Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the
•
transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections.
•
Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
•
Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future
Step 6
use.
Inspect and clean the SC connector's fiber-optic end-faces. (Refer to
Step 7

Remove the dust plugs from the GBIC transceiver optical bores.
Step 8
Immediately attach the network interface cable SC connector to the GBIC transceiver.
Step 9
To connect 1000BASE-T GBIC transceivers to a copper network, perform the following substeps:

B-38.)
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible server, workstation, or router, use four
twisted-pair, straight-through Category 5 cabling for the GBIC transceiver port. When
connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four twisted-pair, crossover
Category 5 cabling.
The LED turns green when the GBIC transceiver and the target device have an established link.
The LED turns amber while the GBIC discovers the network topology and searches for loops.
This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green.
If the LED is off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or
there might be a problem with the adapter that is installed in the target device.
