Replacing The Gbic Module In An At-A15 Expansion Module - Allied Telesyn AT-A14AT-A15/SX Guía De Instalación Rápida

Replacing the GBIC Module in an AT-A15 Expansion Module

Both the AT-A15/SX expansion module and AT-A15/LX expansion module
come with a pre-installed GBIC module. The AT-A15/SX comes with the
1000Base-SX GBIC module (AT-G8SX) and the AT-A15/LX module comes
with the 1000Base-LX module (AT-G8LX). If desired, you can replace the
GBIC module that comes with the expansion module with another GBIC
module of the same type or a different type. For example, you can replace the
1000Base-SX GBIC module with a 1000Base-LX module to increase the
distance of the expansion module.
Note
You do not need to power OFF the switch to replace the GBIC module in
an AT-A15 expansion module.
To replace the GBIC module, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the fiber cables from the fiber optic port of the module, if attached.
Laser
Do not stare into the laser beam.
2. Release the GBIC module from the AT-A15 expansion module and slide
the module out of the expansion slot. You release the module by pulling up
on a release wire or by pressing two release tabs on the sides of the module,
depending on the module type. Refer to Figure 3.
