Installation Procedures
6. (Optional) Install Transceivers
You can install or remove transceivers from the slots on the front 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 the transceivers:
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 HP transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to
the beam coming from the transmit port.
