Installation Procedures
6. Installing or removing SFP transceivers (mini-GBICs)
You can install or remove an SFP (mini-GBIC) from an SFP slot without having
to power off the switch. Use only HP SFP transceivers.
N o t e s
■ The SFP slots are not shared with the two 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
When an SFP is installed in a slot, it operates independently of the RJ-45
ports.
■
The SFP 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
an SFP.
C a u t i o n
Use only supported genuine HP SFP transceivers with your switch. Non-HP
SFP transceivers are not supported, and their use may result in product
malfunction. Should you require additional HP SFP transceivers, contact your
HP networking Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.
Installing the
SFP transceivers
:
Remove the protective plastic cover and retain it for later use. Hold the SFP
transceiver by its sides and gently insert it into either of the slots on the switch
until the transceiver clicks into place.
W A R N I N G
The HP SFP transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
