Hardware Question SWITCH 2530 SFP ports and 3CSFP93

Hi, 

 

I remplace my old 3com access switch witch news HP 2530 series.

 

I want to reuse my SFP transreceiver 3com 3CSFP93 1000 base T

I can't figured out how to make them working with my 2530.

 

 

The Greed led just keep flashing. I do put static configuration for the speed of the ports.

 

Do the 3com SFP transreceiver are supported by my new switches?

Do I need to enable something to activate my SFP ports?

The Procurve switches check the SFP for an HP part number.

 

You could ask 3COM if there is anyway to change the code on the SFP...?

That transceiver is not supported in that switch, there is no way to re-code it as per Vince suggestion.
