6. (Optional) Install or Remove mini-GBICs or SFPs

 

You can install or remove a mini-GBIC from a mini-GBIC slot without having

 

to power off the switch. Use only ProCurve transceiver accessories.

 

 

N o t e s

■ 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-GBICs operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not

 

supported.

 

■ Inserting a 10-GbE transceiver (SFP+) into a 1 gigabit (mini-GBIC) slot,

 

will generate an event log message, “Transceiver type not supported by

 

this port”, and the transceiver will not function. The reverse is true also,

 

inserting a 1 gigabit (mini-GBIC) transceiver into a 10-GbE slot will

 

generate an event log message and the transceiver will not function.

 

■ Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove

 

a mini-GBIC unless you are using a Direct Attach Cable (DAC).
