Note: If GBICs are shipped or stored without a dust cover, clean the
connectors before installing into a Fibre Channel environment.
1. Blow any dust from the ferrule and the ends of the GBIC using compressed
air by positioning the air nozzle approximately 50 mm (2 in.) away from the
connector and blowing for 5 seconds.
2. Clean inside the GBIC with a swab saturated with isopropyl alcohol if
necessary.
3. Repeat Step 1.
