INSTALLING OPTIONS

NOTE: If you are installing optional Ethernet expansion modules and GBICs in the
1H582-51, it is recommended that you install the GBICs into the 1H582-25 or 1H582-51
first, especially in a rackmount installation.
CAUTION: The expansion modules are NOT hot-swappable. The switch must be
powered down before the expansion modules are installed or removed. Hot-swapping
the expansion modules while the switch is powered on could cause the device to stop
forwarding frames.
The 1H582-51 has three expansion slots for optional Ethernet expansion modules. At the time of
this printing, five Ethernet expansion module options were available for the 1H582-51. Refer to
your release notes for the latest available Ethernet expansion modules.
The five optional Ethernet expansion modules include the following:
•
1H-16TX, which provides 16 fixed, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port uplinks via twisted pair
RJ45 connections.
•
1H-8FX, which provides 8 fixed, 100BASE-FX port uplinks via MT-RJ fiber-optic connections.
•
1G-2TX, which provides 2 fixed, 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port
uplinks via twisted pair RJ45 connections.
•
1G-2GBIC, which provides 2 expansion slots for optional GBICs (GBICs have 1 SC connector).
•
1G-2MGBIC, which provides 2 expansion slots for optional Mini-GBICs (Mini-GBICs can
have either one MT-RJ or one LC connector).
