Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines
Before you install a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, read the following handling, safety,
and environmental guidelines:
•GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are static sensitive. To learn how to prevent
damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), see "Electrostatic discharge
prevention" (page 11).
•GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs use optical connectors whose performance
can be reduced by dust contamination. When you store a GBIC, SFP, or
