Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
6. (Optional) Install or Remove mini-GBICs or SFP/
SFP+ transceivers
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC from a mini-GBIC slot without having
to power off the switch. Mini-GBICs and SFP transceivers can be installed in
the front of the switch, whereas SFP+ transceivers should only be installed in
the module in the back of the switch.
Notes ■ The mini-GBIC slots in the front of the switch are shared with the four
10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, the
associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used.
■ The mini-GBIC ports operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is
not supported.
■ Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove
a mini-GBIC.
■ Installing a mini-GBIC (one gigabit SFP transceiver) into a 10-GbE slot
will cause a log message to be generated, “Transceiver type not supported
in this port” and the transceiver will not function. The same thing will
happen if a 10-GbE SFP+ transceiver is installed in a one gigabit SFP slot.
The same log message will be generated and the transceiver will not
function.
Caution Use only supported genuine HP ProCurve mini-GBICs, SFP and SFP+
transceivers with your switch. Non-HP ProCurve mini-GBICs are not
supported, and their use may result in product malfunction. Should you
require additional HP ProCurve mini-GBICs, contact your HP ProCurve
Networking Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.
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.
