Insert the Transceiver Into the Slot
The transceivers are installed into an HP networking device, as follows:
1. Unplug the HP networking device from the AC power source, or
remove the module with the transceiver slots from the networking
device. Then, using a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver, unscrew the
two retaining screws on the slot cover plate or existing transceiver, and
remove it from the HP networking device or device module.
loosen these screws and remove the cover plate
2. Touch a grounded, metal object (such as a powered-on switch) to
discharge any static electricity on your body, then carefully remove the
transceiver from its protective anti-static packaging. Hold the trans-
ceiver by its bulkhead or edges, taking care not touch any of its board
components or metal connectors.
3. Slide the transceiver firmly into the Gigabit transceiver slot as far as it
will go. The transceiver will "snap" into place, and the transceiver's
faceplate should touch the face of the device. The following illustration
shows a transceiver sliding into an HP ProCurve Gigabit Stacking
Module.
4. Using the flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver, tighten the retaining
screws on the transceiver until they are secure, but be careful that you
do not overtighten the screws.
5. Reinstall the module into the networking device and make sure the
device is powered on, or if the transceiver is installed directly into a
networking device, power the device on.
