Installing the Switch

Installation Procedures

C a u t i o n

Use only supported genuine HP ProCurve mini-GBICs with your switch. Non- HP ProCurve mini-GBICs are not supported, and their use may result in product malfunction. Should you require additional HP ProCurve mini-GBICs, contact your HP ProCurve Networking Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.

Installing the mini-GBICs:

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.

The HP ProCurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.

Figure 2-4. Installing a mini-GBIC.Removing the mini-GBICs:

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

Depending on when you purchased your HP 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.
