Descriptions Contact your HP-authorized networking products reseller or your HP repre- sentative for information on availability of other modules. You can also visit the HP networking products Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/procurve to get more information. Link and Mode LEDs Features: The HP ProCurve Switch Modules have the following features: auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network...
Installing the Module Overview You can install any of the modules into any of the HP ProCurve switches that have a compatible module slot. The installation steps are: For the Gigabit-LX Module or 100/1000Base-T Module, download the new OS code to your HP ProCurve switch. The switch must be running OS version C.05.06 or later to support the Gigabit-LX Module and version...
Downloading Switch Software Verifying Current Switch Software Most of the HP ProCurve Switch Modules are supported by all versions of the switch operating system (OS). For two of the modules, your HP ProCurve Switch must be running specific OS versions: Gigabit-LX Module (HP J4114A) - OS version C.05.06 or later...

Do one of the following: • • Download the software upgrade to your HP ProCurve switch. The download is executed from the switch console, by selecting Download OS from the console Main Menu. On the Download OS screen, select the file transfer method, TFTP or Xmodem.
RFI fingers. The RFI fingers are identified in one of the illustrations on the next page. If the RFI fingers are dislodged, make sure to unplug the switch, remove the RFI fingers from the switch chassis, and reinstall them before powering on the switch.

Installing the module in a horizontal slot Note: Use some caution when installing modules. Excessive installation force could cause the RFI fingers on the switch or adjacent module or bulkhead to be dislodged. Please see the “Installation Precautions” on the previous page.

Verify 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 that the module is installed properly. Fault LED...

If, however, the configuration is changed to one of the 100 Mbps fixed options (100-Half Duplex or 100-Full Duplex), the port operates as an MDI-X port. In that case, to connect the module to another switch or hub, use a crossover cable; to connect to an end node, use a straight-through cable.
Page 16
RJ-45 connector Notes: • The RJ-45 ports on the 10/100Base-T module are all wired as MDI-X ports. For connecting these to another switch or hub, use a crossover cable; for connecting these to an end node, use a straight-through cable.

Module Gigabit-LX Module with SC connectors 100/1000Base-T Module RJ-45 port with “Auto MDI/MDI-X” Note: In the module’s default configuration, Auto, either a straight-through or crossover cable can be used to connect the module to either another Gigabit device or to a 100Base-T device. See the Note on page 9. 10Base-FL Module multimode fiber-optic cable with...

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.
If you experience a high number of transmission errors on the Gigabit-LX ports, usually CRC or FCS errors, you may need to install one of these patch cords between the Gigabit-LX Module installed in your switch and your multimode fiber-optic network cabling, and between the Gigabit-LX trans- mission device and the network cabling at the other end of the multimode fiber-optic cable run.
Recommended Patch Cords The following Mode Conditioning Patch Cords have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the HP ProCurve Switch Gigabit-LX Module: Computer Crafts These part numbers could change. Contact Computer Crafts through the world wide web at www.computer-crafts.com.
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.
Grab the screws and pull the module out from the slot. It may help to brace your hands against the face of the switch and “lever” the module out from the switch slot.
Resetting the Switch Reasons for Resetting the Switch Generally, you only need to reset the switch when it needs to recognize a change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some circumstances in which you will need to reset the switch are: Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a different type of module—for example, installing a 100/1000Base-T Module in a slot...
If the fault indication reoccurs, the module may have failed. Remove the module from the switch and replace it with another module, or recover the slot with the cover plate. Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet for more information.

You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the web browser interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches network management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.
See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet that came with your switch for information on how to use these services to get technical support. The HP networking products World Wide Web site, http://www.hp.com/go/procurve also provides up-to-date support informa- tion.
