MDI-X Operation: The four 10Base-T ports built into the module are
designed for MDI-X operation (that is, for connecting end nodes to the
switch). Thus, if you connect any of these ports to an MDI-X port on
another device, use a ''crossover'' cable. But if the connection is to an
MDI port, use a ''straight-through'' cable.
MDI Operation: An optional twisted-pair transceiver in the transceiver
slot operates in MDI mode (that is, for connecting hubs or other
switches to the Switch 2000). In this case, use a ''straight-through'' cable
to connect the transceiver to an MDI-X port on another device, or a
''cross-over cable'' to connect the transceiver to another transceiver or
other MDI port on another device. See the Connectivity Quick
Reference that is included with your module for more information on
connecting the module to network devices.
For more on straight-through and crossover cables, see appendix A,
''Cables and Connectors'', in the HP AdvanceStack Switch 2000
Installation Guide that is shipped with the Switch 2000.
8. Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that

the port(s) connected in the preceding step are up. (If you have not
already done so, install the LED label strip as described in step 1.)
The "port-enabled'' LED (1, 2, 3, 4) will be lit for each port that is up.
The transmit (Tx) and/or receive (Rx) LEDs for each port that is
transmitting and/or receiving packets will flash when traffic is
detected on the port.
