4 GBIC Transceiver Installation Guide
Inserting the
Transceiver
Before you connect the system to the Gigabit Ethernet network, first
insert the transceiver into the GBIC port on the system, as described in
this section. The procedure is similar for all relevant chassis or modules.
To ensure optimal performance, compatibility, and regulatory compliance,
use only GBIC transceivers that 3Com supports. For a list of GBIC devices
that are qualified for the 3Com products see this 3Com Web site:

1 Read and follow the instructions in “Safety Precautions” earlier in this
guide.
2 Orient the transceiver so that the duplex SC or RJ-45 connector is toward
you.
CAUTION: GBIC transceivers are keyed and can be properly inserted only
one way. If the transceiver does not click when you insert it, remove it,
turn it over, and reinsert it.
a Figure 2 shows how to insert the transceiver into a GBIC port.
Installation into other chassis is the same except that the chassis ports
may be oriented vertically.
