Installing the Modules

Overview

You can install any of the modules into any of the HP Procurve XL Switches
that have a compatible module slot. As of this printing, those are the
HP Procurve Series 5300XL Switches:
■ 5308XL (p/n J4819A)
5372XL (p/n J4848A)
■
5348XL (p/n J4849A)
■
5304XL (p/n J4850A)
■
You can install the modules into the switch either with the switch powered on
or off. The following procedures assume the switch is powered on.
1. Install the modules in a switch slot (see page 5).
If you have installed any modules into slots that were previously occupied
by a different type module, you need to now reset the switch (see page 15).
2. If you are using the mini-GBIC XL Module, install the mini-GBICs in the
module. You can install the mini-GBICs before or after installing that
module into the switch (see page 7).
The mini-GBICs can be "hot swapped". That is, they can be installed or
removed after the mini-GBIC XL Module is installed in the switch and the
module is receiving power. For more information, see page 7.
3. Verify that the modules are installed correctly (see page 8).
4. Connect the network cabling (see page 9).
5. Verify that the network connections are working properly (see page 12).
6. Optionally, customize the configuration for the modules' ports (unless the
default port configuration is satisfactory for your network application ­
see page 13).
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 14.
