The HP ProCurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
Installing the mini-GBICs:
Hold the mini-GBIC by its sides and gently insert it into either of the slots on
the switch until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
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-GBIC ports operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is
not supported.
Ensure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove
a mini-GBIC.
