Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
•
If the mini-GBIC has a bail, swing the bail out, and then gently pull on it to slide the mini-GBIC out of the
module.
•
If the mini-GBIC has a movable collar, push the collar in towards the front panel of the routing switch and
and then gently pull on the mini-GBIC to slide it out of the module.
5. Pull the mini-GBIC out of the module.
6. Store the mini-GBIC in a safe, static-free place.
Installation Notes
1000Base-SX Ports
The 1000Base-SX mini-GBIC ports operate in full-duplex mode and support multi-mode fiber cabling through LC
connectors. A 1000Base-SX mini-GBIC port must be connected to another 1000Base-SX port. Connection to a
1000Base-LX port or a 1000Base-LH port is not supported.
1000Base-LX Ports
The 1000Base-LX mini-GBIC ports operate in full-duplex mode and support both single-mode fiber (SMF) and
multi-mode fiber (MMF) cabling through LC connectors. A 1000Base-LX mini-GBIC port must be connected to
another 1000Base-LX port. Connection to a 1000Base-SX port or a 1000Base-LH port is not supported.
1000Base-LH Ports
The 1000Base-LH mini-GBIC ports operate in full-duplex mode and supports single-mode fiber (SMF) cabling
through LC connectors. A 1000Base-LH mini-GBIC port must be connected to another 1000Base-LH port.
Connection to a 1000Base-LX or 1000Base-SX mini-GBIC port is not supported.
Software Support for Mini-GBIC Ports
Hewlett-Packard offers and supports only mini-GBICs that include an HP label (product number J4858A, J4859A,
or J4860A) for use with the J4856A HP ProCurve 9300 Mini-GBIC Module and the J4857A HP ProCurve 9300
Mini-GBIC Redundant Management Module. Use of other brands of mini-GBICs or the use of HP mini-GBICs in
non-HP devices is not supported.
Removing and Installing XENPAK Optics
You can remove a XENPAK optic from a 10 Gigabit Ethernet module and replace it with a new one while the HP
device is powered on and running.
Before performing either of these tasks, have the following on hand:
•
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap
WARNING: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap provided with your product contains a series limiting
resistor. If a replacement ESD strap is used, make certain that it contains a series limiting resistor with at least
1MOhm of resistance. Also, make certain the strap is not connected to any internal part of your ProCurve
chassis.
•
The protective covering that you removed from the port connectors when you initially installed the XENPAK
optic
•
The new XENPAK optic (if you are installing one)
•
A small flathead screwdriver
Removing a XENPAK Optic
To remove a XENPAK optic from a 10 Gigabit Ethernet module, do the following:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and attach the copper tape to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act
as ground.
