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:
1.
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
C.07.27 or later to support the "B" model of the 100/1000Base-T Module
(HP J4115B) (see page 4). The new code is found on the floppy disk
included with the module.
You can also copy the OS file from the HP networking products world
wide web site:
http://www.hp.com/go/procurve
The software files to download can be accessed by clicking on Technical
Support on that web page.
2.
Install the module in a switch slot (see page 6).
3.
Verify that the module is installed correctly (see page 8).
4.
Connect the network cabling (see page 9).
5.
Optionally, customize the configuration for the module's ports (unless the
default port configuration is satisfactory for your network application -
see page 15).
6.
Reset the switch, if you have installed the module into a slot that was
previously occupied by a different type module (see page 17).
If necessary, you can "hot-swap" one module for another; that is, replace one
module with another while the switch is still powered on, without interrupting
the operation of the rest of the switch ports. For more information, see page 16.
