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:
I
Gigabit-LX Module (HP J4114A) - OS version C.05.06 or later
100/1000Base-T Module (HP J4115B) - OS version C.07.27 or later
I
To determine which OS version is running in the switch, connect a console to
the switch and perform the following (see the switch Installation Guide for
more information about connecting a console and using the console inter-
face):
From the console Main Menu, select Status and Counters... to display the
1.
Status and Counters menu.
2.
Select General System Information... to display the Switch Information
screen, as shown in the next figure.
3.
Check the "Firmware Revision" line.
• If the OS version number is C.05.06 or later, the switch can support the
Gigabit-LX Module; if the version is C.07.27 or later, the switch can
support the 100/1000Base-T Module ("B" model), and you do not need
to download new software to the switch. In this case, go to "Installing
the Module in an Unused Slot" on page 6.
• If the version number is earlier than the required version, download the
new OS, as described on the next page, before installing the module.
