Description of SFP ports
The LSPM2GP2P interface card provides two 1-Gbps SFP ports. You can
insert an SFP transceiver module into the port to connect it to another SFP
port through an optical fiber. For more information about the supported
SFP transceiver modules, see Table 1.

Installing and removing an interface card
The following tools are needed for the installation and removal of an
interface card:
• Phillips screwdriver
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
NOTE:
The installation tools are not shipped together with HP’s devices.
Prepare them yourself.
Installing the LSPM2GP2P interface card
Installing the interface card to the switch
NOTE:
The procedure of installing the LSPM2GP2P interface card to different
models of HP switches is similar. This user guide takes the
A5500-24G EI Switch with 2 Interface Slots (JD377A) as an
example.
Follow these steps to install the interface card to the switch:
Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the
ESD-preventive wrist strap makes good skin contact and is properly
grounded.
Step2 Loosen the mounting screws of the filler panel on the interface
card slot of the switch with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the
filler panel, as shown in Figure 2.

Step3 Holding the fastening screws on the front panel of the SFP
interface card, gently push the interface card in along the slot guide
rail until the interface card is in close contact with the switch, as
shown in Figure 3.

NOTE:
• Keep the removed filler panel properly for future use.
• When tightening the fastening screws at both sides of the interface
card with a screwdriver or an electric screwdriver, make sure that
the torque is not bigger than 0.4 N-m.

Removing the interface card
F
ollow these steps to remove the interface card:
Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the
ESD-preventive wrist strap makes good skin contact is properly
grounded.
Step2 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws at both
sides of the interface card until all spring pressure is released.
Step3 Pull the interface card towards you along the guide rails, until it
completely comes out of the switch chassis.
NOTE:
When installing or removing an interface card, note the following
guidelines:
• Do not touch the surface-mounted components directly with your
hands.
• Do not use too much force in the operation.
• After removing an interface card, if no new interface card is to be
installed, install the filler panel as soon as possible to prevent dust
and ensure normal ventilation in the switch.
Installing an SFP transceiver module
To avoid component damage caused by improper installation, carefully
read the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation Guide from the
HP's website before installing the SFP transceiver modules.
Verifying the installation
When the switch runs properly, check whether the interface card is
operating properly according to the status of the Port LED on the
LSPM2GP2P interface card.
