6. (Optional) Install Mini-GBICs and SFPs
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC from a mini-GBIC slot without having
to power off the switch. Use only ProCurve mini-GBICs.
When a mini-GBIC or SFP transceiver is inserted the switch authenticates it.
This can take 1-3 seconds, with the worst case being 5 seconds. If the mini-
GBIC or SFP transceiver is removed before the authentication completes a
self test failure will be reported.
C a u t i o n
Use only supported genuine ProCurve mini-GBICs with your switch. Non-
ProCurve mini-GBICs are not supported, and their use may result in product
malfunction. Should you require additional ProCurve mini-GBICs, contact
your ProCurve Networking Sales and Service Office or authorized dealer.
N o t e s
■ Hot swapping mini-GBICs and transceivers is supported. You can install
or remove a transceiver with the switch powered on, a reset will not occur.
However, rapid hotswaps are not recommended. Wait 5 seconds between
Hotswaps.
■
Each of the four mini-GBIC slots is shared with the associated 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 port. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, the associated
RJ-45 port is disabled.
■ The mini-GBIC ports 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).
