6. Installing or Removing mini-GBICs
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC from a mini-GBIC slot without having
to power off the switch. Use only ProCurve mini-GBICs.
N o t e s ■ The mini-GBIC slots are not shared with the two 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-
45 ports. When a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it operates independently
of the RJ-45 ports.
■ The mini-GBIC ports operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is
not supported, unless a 100-FX SFP transceiver is installed. The 100-FX
SFP transceiver can operate at half duplex.
■ Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove
a mini-GBIC.
C a u t i o n Use only supported genuine ProCurve mini-GBICs with your switch. Non-
ProCurve mini-GBICs are not supported, and their use may result in product
malfunction. Should you require additional ProCurve mini-GBICs, contact
your ProCurve Networking Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.
Installing the mini-GBICs:
Remove the protective plastic cover and retain it for later use. Hold the mini-
GBIC by its sides and gently insert it into either of the slots on the switch until
the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
W A R N I N G The ProCurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
