2. Installing or Removing mini-GBICs (SFPs)
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC or SFP from a mini-GBIC slot without
having to power off the switch. Use only ProCurve mini-GBICs and
transceivers.
Notes ■ The mini-GBIC slots 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, unless a 100-FX SFP transceiver is installed. The 100-FX
SFP transceiver can operate at half duplex.
■ Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove
a mini-GBIC.
When this manual was printed, the supported mini-GBICs include the
following:
■ ProCurve Gigabit-SX-LC mini-GBIC (J4858B, J4858C)
■ ProCurve Gigabit-LX-LC mini-GBIC (J4859B, J4859C)
■ ProCurve Gigabit-LH-LC mini-GBIC (J4860B, J4860C)
■ ProCurve 100-FX SFP-LC Transceiver (J9054B)
Caution Use only supported genuine ProCurve mini-GBICs and transceivers with your
switch. Non-ProCurve mini-GBICs and transceivers are not supported, and
their use may result in product malfunction. Should you require additional
ProCurve mini-GBICs or transceivers, contact your ProCurve Networking
Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.
Installing the mini-GBICs:
Remove the protective plastic 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. When the mini-GBIC is installed, the Link LED
turns on for 2 seconds to verify correct installation.
WARNING The ProCurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
