You can install or remove an optional mini-GBIC from a mini-GBIC slot
without having to power off the E-MSM720. Use only HP mini-GBICs.
Mini-GBIC information
Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a
supported HP mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)) for fiber-optic
connection. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled.
Using HP mini-GBICs, these products support optional network connectivity
with the following speeds and technologies:
Caution Hot swapping transceivers is supported. You can install or remove a
transceiver with the E-MSM720 powered on, a reset will not occur. However,
rapid hotswaps are not recommended. Wait a few seconds for the Mode LED
to turn on (during initialization), and then turn off.
Notes ■ The mini-GBIC slots are shared with 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports. When
a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and
cannot be used.
