For the HP ProCurve Series 4100gl Switches Descriptions. The HP ProCurve Switch gl Modules are components that you can add to an HP ProCurve gl switch to provide a variety of network connec tivity options. The following modules are available as of this printing:...
++ This module requires switch software version G.07.40 or later to be installed in the switch. Contact your HP-authorized networking products reseller or your HP repre- sentative for information on availability of other modules, transceivers, and mini-GBICs. You can also visit the HP networking products Web site at to get more information. http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve...

10/100-TX gl Module have the HP Auto-MDIX feature, ■ and the ports on the 100/1000-T gl Module have the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/MDI-X feature.
Installing the gl Modules Installing the gl Modules Overview You can install any of the gl modules into any of the HP ProCurve switches that have a compatible module slot. As of this printing, those are the HP ProCurve Series 4100gl Switches: 4108gl (p/n J4865A) ■...
The HP ProCurve Switch gl Modules have “low-force”, high-performance connectors. ■ High insertion forces are not necessary to install the modules, and should not be used.
Page 13
Installing the gl Modules Insert module into the guides and slide it in until it is fully inserted. “Low-force” connector. High insertion force is not needed and should not be used. For best results, push simultaneously near both screws. The module is fully inserted when the module bulkhead is contacting, or very close to contacting the face of the switch.
Installing or Removing the mini-GBICs You can install or remove the mini-GBIC from the mini-GBIC gl Module without having to power off the switch. Use only HP ProCurve mini-GBICs. C a u t i o n The HP ProCurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.
Installing the gl Modules Verifying the Module is Installed Correctly Observe the Module Status LED for the slot in which the module is being installed, and the Self Test and Fault LEDs on the switch to verify the module is installed properly. Module Status LEDs Fault LED Self Test LED...
“HP Auto-MDIX” Notes: • The RJ-45 ports on this module have the HP Auto-MDIX feature. In the module’s default configuration, Auto, either a straight-through or crossover cable can be used to connect the module to any other 100Base-TX or 10Base-T device.
Page 18
On the 10/100-TX gl Module, this feature is identified as HP Auto-MDIX; on the 100/1000-T gl Module, it is identified as Auto MDI/MDI-X and it is part of the IEEE 802.3ab standard.
Installing the gl Modules Verifying the Network Connections Are Working Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that the port(s) connected in the preceding step are operating correctly. Each port on the switch modules has Link and Mode LEDs near it as shown in the next illustration.
Installing the gl Modules Customizing the Port Configuration If the slot in which you installed the module was empty the last time the switch was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was cycled), then the module will use preconfigured default parameter values that will work for most networks.

Installing the gl Modules Advanced Features: Spanning Tree, Trunking, VLANs, Security, and so ■ forth, all Disabled • Trunking for the J4908A is accomplished differently than normal, therefore you must follow these guidelines. Looking at the J4908A physical port layout, it looks like this: 13 14 10 11 12 17 18...
Replacing or Removing a Module Replacing or Removing a Module Follow these procedures to replace one module with another, or to remove a module without replacing it: Remove any network cables from the ports on the module. 2. On the module you want to remove from the switch, unscrew the retaining screws enough to disconnect them from the threaded holes in the switch.

If the error has occurred on a mini-GBIC that you have installed in the mini-GBIC gl Module, ensure it is one of the supported mini-GBICs. The HP ProCurve mini- GBICs that are supported, as of the printing of this manual, are listed on page 1.
Page 27
You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the web browser interface, or HP ProCurve Manager for Hubs & Switches network management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiber-optic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port. Unlike Gigabit-SX, which connects to only multimode fiber-optic cabling, Gigabit-LX can use either single-mode or multimode cable. Multimode cable has a design characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires that the transmission signals be “conditioned”...
Recommended Patch Cords Hewlett-Packard maintains a list of recommended Mode Conditioning Patch Cords that have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the HP ProCurve Gigabit-LX Transceiver and HP ProCurve Gigabit-LX LC mini-GBIC.
