• If the version number is A.02.01 or later, the Switch 2000 can support
the 10Base-FL Module. In this case, go to "Installing the 10Base-FL
Module in an Unused Slot" on page 6.
• If the version number is earlier than A.02.01, download a new OS
before installing the 10Base-FL Module. In this case, continue with
the instructions in this section before you install the module.

Software Sources and Content

First-Time 10Base-FL Module Installation: Generally, if you are installing
the 10Base-FL Module in your Switch 2000 for the first time, use the software
provided on the disk you received with the module.
Upgrading a Previous 10Base-FL Module Installation: If you are
upgrading the software for an existing 10Base-FL Module installation, you can
use software that is either provided on a current disk or obtained in a
compressed, self-extracting file named j3100a.exe that you can download
from Hewlett-Packard's World Wide Web or other electronic sources. (Refer
to "HP Customer Support Services" on the card included in the front of this
manual.)
Both the disk and the self-extracting (j3100a.exe) file contain one or more
of the following files:
The switch update utility, named update.exe, and a readme.txt file
containing instructions on how to use the update utility, plus other
information. (This is a PC-based utility that you can run from DOS or from
a DOS window to download the switch software from a PC directory. This
utility requires an RS-232 serial connection to the Switch 2000.)
The proprietary MIB file for the Switch 2000.
Two OS files:
filename.swi
filename.fdd
where filename will be the same for both files; for example:
A_02_01.swi
A_02_01.fdd
OS for the Switch 2000 chassis and all
Switch 2000 modules that operate with
version A.02.01 or earlier software
OS for the FDDI Module. (Necessary if
an FDDI Module is installed.)
