Installing or Removing the Mini-GBICs

Hot swapping mini-GBICs is supported. You can install or remove a mini-GBIC
with the switch powered on, a reset will not occur.
You can install or remove the mini-GBIC from the mini-GBIC vl Module, or the
Gig-T/SFP vl Module, without having to power off the switch. Use only
ProCurve mini-GBICs with the letter "B" (or greater) at the end of the product
number (for example, J4858B or J4860C).
The ProCurve fiber optic mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid
direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
