Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the module and on trans-

ceivers you install into the module. When handling the module and transceivers and installing

them in your switch, follow these procedures to avoid damage from static electricity:

• Handle the module and transceivers by their bulkheads or edges and avoid touching the

components and the circuitry on the boards.

• When installing the module and transceivers, equalize any static charge difference between

your body and the switch by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the switch's

metal body, or by frequently touching the switch's metal body.

For proper switch cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure that a slot cover

is installed on any unused module or transceiver slot.

An incompletely installed module will temporarily disrupt switch operation and

prevent the module from operating. Make sure the module is fully installed and that

you screw in the retaining screws to secure the module in place.

Before installing the Gigabit Stacking Module into the switch, you should first install all

transceivers into the module. The transceivers can not be "hot swapped". They must be

installed when the module is not receiving power, either by first removing the module from the

switch, or by powering off the switch.

2. Install Transceivers Into the Module

Any of the HP Gigabit Transceivers (Gigabit-SX, Gigabit-LX, or Gigabit

Stacking) can be installed in either of the transceiver slots in the Gigabit

Stacking Module. The order or location does not matter.

To install the transceivers, follow these steps:

1. Using a Torx T-10 or flat-bladed screw driver, remove the transceiver slot

cover. Keep the cover for future use. It does not matter which transceiver

slot is used first, 1 or 2.

2. Hold the transceiver by the bulkhead and slide the transceiver all the way

into the slot until it "snaps" into place. The transceiver bulkhead should be

touching the face of the module.

3. Tighten the retaining screws on the transceiver until they are secure, but

be careful to not overtighten these screws.

For more detailed information on installing the transceivers, see the Installa-

tion Guide that came with the transceiver.
