HP SP7041-ISS 1Gb SFP RJ-45 Module isnt compatible with the ProCurve 2810 J9021A?

[nmcain]

I recently got ahold of an HP SP7041-ISS 1Gb SFP RJ-45 Module, but when I plug it into my ProCurve 2810 (J9021A) as the uplink, the link arrow for it blinks green (slow flashes, once per second), and it does not provide a connection. Is this module compatible with this switch? Do I need to get a different SFP or is it possible to allow the SFP to work through software?

Where would I find the product number on the SFP unit? I thought it was SP7041-ISS, or is there another on the label? Heres the full tag.

Thnaks. Do you have a recommendation for something comparable, or what I should look for? Can I enable any sort of software support?

Hello,

I believe auto negotiation the port won't help you here because HP SP7041-ISS 1Gb SFP is not supported here.

You can refer quickspecs pg. 10 or below snapshot for supported transceiver on ProCurve 2810 (J9021A).
