Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
7. (Optional) Install Transceivers
You can install or remove transceivers from the slots on the front of the switch,
or in the HP 2920 2-Port 10GbE SFP+ Module in the back of the switch, without
having to power off the switch.
Notes ■ The transceivers operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not
supported.
■ Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove
a transceiver.
Caution Use only supported genuine HP transceivers with your switch. Non-HP
transceivers are not supported, and their use may result in product
malfunction. Should you require additional HP transceivers, contact your HP
Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.
Installing a transceiver:
Hold the transceiver by its sides and gently insert it into either of the slots on
the switch until it clicks into place. When a transceiver is inserted the switch
authenticates it. This can take 1-3 seconds, with the worst case being 5
seconds. If the transceiver is removed before the authentication completes a
self test failure will be reported.
WARNING The fiber-optic HP transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
