This document explains how to install a gigabit interface converter (GBIC) module in a
Dell PowerVault 50F or 51F Fibre Channel switch.
NOTES: You can insert GBIC modules into a switch while the switch is on.
GBIC modules use standard SC connectors or high-speed serial data connectors
(HSSDC).
To install a GBIC module in a PowerVault 50F or 51F, perform the following steps:
1. If you are installing a non-IBM
®
GBIC module, perform only steps 2 and 3.
If you are installing an IBM GBIC module, ensure that the locking bar on the front
of the GBIC module is pushed to the right side of the module.
