Figure 3 shows how to insert the transceiver into a GBIC port on the
CoreBuilder 9000 7-slot chassis. Installation in the 8-slot and 16-slot
chassis is the same except that the chassis ports are oriented vertically.

Gently slide the transceiver into the GBIC port until it clicks into place.
CAUTION: GBICs are keyed and can be inserted only one way. If the GBIC
does not click when you insert it, remove the GBIC, turn it over, and
reinsert it.
Removing the Transceiver
To replace an existing GBIC transceiver, compress the side tabs and gently
pull the transceiver out of the port.
Troubleshooting
Transceivers
After you insert the GBIC transceiver into the port, the system software
verifies the transceiver operation, as discussed in this section.
To ensure optimal performance, compatibility, and regulatory compliance,
use only GBIC transceivers that 3Com supports. For a list of currently
supported GBICs, see this 3Com Web site:
