Installation Procedures

 

Removing the mini-GBICs

 

 

N o t e

You should disconnect the network cable from the mini-GBIC before removing

 

it from the switch.

 

Depending on when you purchased your ProCurve mini-GBIC, it may have

 

 

either of three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of

 

the mini-GBIC, a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC, or a wire bail.

 

To remove the mini-GBICs that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the

 

tab or collar toward the switch until you see the mini-GBIC release from the

 

switch (you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.

 

To remove the mini-GBICs that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is

 

approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the mini-GBIC from the

 

slot.

 

Replace the protective plastic cover on the mini-GBIC.

 

Connecting Cables to mini-GBICs

 

If you have any mini-GBICs installed in the switch, the type of network

 

connections you will need to use depends on the type of mini-GBICs you have

 

installed. See appendix B, “Cabling and Technology Information”, for cabling

 

information.

 

For mini-GBICs ports, and in general for all the switch ports, when a network

 

cable from an active network device is connected to the port, the port LED

 

for that port should go on. If the port LED does not go on when the network

 

cable is connected to the port, see “Diagnosing with the LEDs” in chapter 4,

 

“Troubleshooting”.

 

7. (Optional) Connect a Redundant Power Supply

 

to a Switch 2610-PWR Series

 

The ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply, (J8168A), hereafter

 

referred to as the 600 RPS/EPS, and the ProCurve 610 External Power Supply

 

(J8169A), hereafter referred to as the 610 EPS, are accessory products for the

 

Switch 2610-PWR Series and specific other ProCurve switches.
