Installation Procedure
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.
Note ■ 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.
Caution Use only supported genuine HP mini-GBICs with your switch. 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 Sales and
Service Office or authorized dealer.
Installing the mini-GBICs:
Remove the protective 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.
WARNING The HP mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye expo-
sure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
