Installing a mini-GBIC

WARNING The ProCurve fiber optic mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid

direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.

Although ProCurve mini-GBICs use slightly different release mechanisms,

the installation procedure is the same for all types.

To install a mini-GBIC in the 10-Port mini-GBIC Module:

1. Position the mini-GBIC as shown in the following illustration. Note that

the release mechanism is on the left of the receptacle.

2. Insert the mini-GBIC into the receptacle until it locks into position.
