Installing or Removing a Mini-GBIC
To install a mini-GBIC:
1. Put on an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap and attach the copper tape to a metal surface (such as an
equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. If you have not already done so, install a J4856A HP Procurve 9300 Mini-GBIC Module or a J4857A HP
Procurve 9300 Mini-GBIC Redundant Management Module in your routing switch. (Ensure that your routing
switch is running a software version that supports the mini-GBIC module. Refer to "Software Version and
Management Module Requirement" on page 2-7.)
3. Remove the mini-GBIC from its protective packaging.
4. Gently insert the mini-GBIC into the slot on the front panel of the module until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
The mini-GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. A tab on the bottom of the mini-GBIC locks the mini-
GBIC to the front panel of the module.
5. Remove the protective covering from the port connectors and store the covering for future use.
6. Insert the interface cable.
To remove a mini-GBIC:

2. Disconnect the interface cable from the mini-GBIC.
3. Insert the protective covering into the port connectors.
