Installing the GL Modules

Installing or Removing the mini-GBICs

You can install or remove the mini-GBIC from the mini-GBIC GL Module

without having to power off the switch. Use only HP Procurve mini-GBICs.

C a u t i o n

The HP Procurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye

exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.

Installing the mini-GBICs:

Hold the mini-GBIC by its sides and gently insert it into any of the slots in the

module until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.

Removing the mini-GBICs:

You should disconnect the network cable from the mini-GBIC before removing

it from the module.

Depending on when you purchased your HP Procurve mini-GBICs, it may have

either of two different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of the

mini-GBIC, and a wire bail.

To remove the mini-GBICs that have the plastic tab, push in the plastic tab

until you see the mini-GBIC release from the switch (you can see it move

outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.

To remove the mini-GBICs that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is

approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the mini-GBIC from the

slot.
