The HP Procurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye
exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
Installation Location - Before installing the switch, plan its location and
orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
• In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for
the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
• In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space
for the power cord.
• On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling,
except if the switch is installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.
The mini-GBIC slots are shared with two of the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
ports. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, the associated RJ-45 port is
disabled and cannot be used.
The mini-GBIC ports operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is
not supported.
Make sure that the network cable is NOT connected when you install or
remove a mini-GBIC.
