Installing the Switch Installing the Switch Installation Procedures Caution 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 miniGBIC or SFP transceiver is removed before the authentication completes a self test failure will be reported. Use only supported genuine ProCurve mini-GBICs with your switch. NonProCurve 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. Notes ■ 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). 2-16
