Hello,

I've some 5412zl-24 iSCSI Switches and I need to connect 2 more ports but only have HP 10Gb SR SFP+ (455885-001) GBICs leftover from our NC523SFP cards. After plugging in the GBICs I got the error message "FFI: Port D4 self test failure ERR: 00010080" and the switch showed Fail on the front.

Is this type of GBIC compatible with the 5412zl module?

Hello,

You can find all that information in the 10GbE Transceiver support matrix:

http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02604897/c02604897.pdf

Generally, ProCurve switches only support (genuine) HP ProCurve transceivers - like the ones you can find on that document above.

I see that 10GBASE-SR GBICs are supported, but I don't know what product type the one is that I have. I've only the type and number that is printed on it: HP 10Gb SR SFP+, 455885-001. Any Idea which HP product number is?

455885-001 is the Part Number, and it's a BladeSystem transceiver for the c7000 and c3000.

That's strange. We got them with NC523SFP cards.

ProCurve switches only work with ProCurve optics/DACs. The optic or DAC must be coded with the encrypted V2 ProCurve vendor ID - nothing else (including non-ProCurve HP optics/DACs) will work.
