Removing the mini-GBICs

N o t e

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

Depending on when you purchased your ProCurve mini-GBIC, it may have
either of three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of
the mini-GBIC, a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC, or a wire bail.

To remove the mini-GBICs that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the
tab or collar toward the switch 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.

Replace the protective plastic cover on the mini-GBIC.

Connecting Cables to mini-GBICs

If you have any mini-GBICs installed in the switch, the type of network
connections you will need to use depends on the type of mini-GBICs you have
installed. See the table on

page 1-2

, and appendix A,

“Specifications”

, for the

mini-GBIC cabling information.
