consisting of a one, three, or seven
meter cable with SFP+ connectors
permanently attached to each end.
Installing the mini-GBICs
Hold the mini-GBIC by its sides and gently insert it into one of the slots on the

The ProCurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye

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.
