Installation and Getting Started Guide

LEDs

Each HP device is equipped with LEDs that denote port and power supply status. The tables below reflect the
different port and expansion module port states.

Ports

The following port types are supported on HP Chassis devices.
1000BaseT Gigabit Copper (GC) Ports
The 1000BaseT Gigabit Copper (GC) ports are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3ab standard and can provide
Gigabit throughput over standard category-5 ("Cat-5") copper wiring. The port connectors are RJ-45s, the same
as the connectors on HP's 10/100 modules. Thus, you can immediately deploy the GC ports without recabling.
10BaseT/100BaseTX Ports
The 10BaseT/100BaseTX ports are auto-sensing, auto-negotiating ports with RJ-45 UTP connectors. These
ports accept category-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables.
See "Connecting Network Devices" on page 2-19 for cabling pinouts and signalling specifics. If you prefer to avoid
assembling cables by hand, you can order the proper cables from Hewlett-Packard.
NOTE: All copper ports are 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing and auto-negotiating for easy deployment into existing
network topologies. Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are available in both multi-mode 1000BaseSX and single-mode
1000BaseLX.
