Dual-Personality Port Operation. By default, the RJ-45 connnectors are
enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it is enabled and the associated
RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot be used. If the mini-GBIC is removed,
the associated RJ-45 port is automatically re-enabled.

10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports*
* All 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports have the
IEEE 802.3ab "Auto MDI/MDIX" feature.
Six auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
All these ports have the IEEE 802.3ab "Auto MDI/MDI-X" feature, which
means that you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-
pair cables to connect any network devices to the switch.
Two dual-personality ports. You can use either the 10/100/1000Base-T
RJ-45 connector, or install a supported HP Procurve mini-GBIC for fiber-
optic connections.
The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X feature.
