Installing a GBIC

1. Locate the GBIC slot for installation (Figure 4-24).

2. Ensure correct orientation for insertion.

   The alignment slots should be on the bottom of the GBIC (Figure 4-25).

3. Insert the GBIC into the I/O+ board panel slot and then push in to firmly seat the card.

   An audible click indicates the GBIC is properly seated to the onboard connector.
