Installing the E-MSM720
Installation Procedures
■ Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove
a mini-GBIC.
Caution Use only supported genuine HP mini-GBICs with your E-MSM720. Non-HP
mini-GBICs are not supported, and their use may result in product
malfunction. Should you require additional HP mini-GBICs, contact your HP
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 E-MSM720
until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
WARNING The HP mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
Removing the mini-GBICs
Note You should disconnect the network cable from the mini-GBIC before removing
it from the E-MSM720.
Depending on when you purchased your HP mini-GBIC, it may have either of
three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of the mini-
GBIC, a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC, or a wire bail.
To remove the mini-GBICs that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the
tab or collar toward the E-MSM720 until you see the mini-GBIC release from
the E-MSM720 (you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from
the slot.
To remove the mini-GBICs that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is
approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the mini-GBIC from the
slot.
Replace the protective plastic cover on the mini-GBIC.
