Depending on when you purchased your SFP GBIC module, it may have 
any of three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of 
the mini-GBIC, a wire bail, or a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC.

Please read the operation manual to the SFP GBIC module.

10. Serial console

You can connect a serial console to the COM port of the Astaro Security 
Gateway hardware appliances. You can use, for instance, the Hyperterminal 
terminal program included with most versions of Microsoft Windows to log 
on to the appliance console. Use the provided RJ45 to DB9 adapter cable to 
connect the console to your hardware appliance.

The required connection settings are:

Bits per second: 38,400, Data bits: 8, Parity: N (none), Stop bits: 1. Access via 
the serial console is activated by default on ttyS1. The connections of the 
appliances and the respective functionality are listed in chapter "Operating
