To install a GBIC module with squeeze prongs, insert the GBIC module into the port
until its connector is firmly seated into the appropriate port. The latch prongs lock and
prevent the GBIC’s accidental removal.
NOTE: The GBIC module is keyed so it can be inserted in only one way. Do not force
the insertion if the module does not slide in easily.
