Installation Procedures
Installing the Switch
Note Direct Attach Cables (DACs) are low-
cost 10-GbE connectivity options
consisting of a one, three, or seven
meter cable with SFP+ connectors
permanently attached to each end.
Installing the mini-GBICs
Hold the mini-GBIC by its sides and gently insert it into one of the slots on the
switch until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
Figure 2-14. Installing a Mini-GBIC or SFP
WARNING The ProCurve 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 switch.
Depending on when you purchased your ProCurve 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.
