Installing The Gbic - HP LC2000r - NetServer - 128 MB RAM Manual

CAUTION

Installing the GBIC

Select the type of GBIC module that is compatible with your system.
• Install the GBIC into the receptacle on the Adapter.
Refer to Figure 2-2 below.
NOTE
You can only install the GBIC one way, as the GBIC and guide rails
inside the Adapter receptacle are keyed.
Inserting a passive GBIC without Fibre Channel device/
hub attached will cause an open loop condition. This open
loop condition will prevent devices attached to the internal
HSSDC connector from functioning. To avoid this
situation, avoid inserting the passive GBIC until external
Fibre Channel devices are attached to the passive GBIC.
