The ProCurve Switch vl Modules have the following features:

auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network
■
operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected
■ auto-configuration—a default configuration is applied to the module
when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default
configuration works well for most network installations
LEDs that provide information for each port on the link status, network
■
activity, connection bandwidth (speed), communication mode (half or full
duplex), and presence of specific network error packets on the port
■ "hot swap modules" operation—you can add a module or replace a
module without having to shut down the switch (changing the module
type in a given slot does require a switch reset)
"hot swap mini-GBICs" operation—you can add, replace, or change the
■
type of any of the mini-GBICs that you use in any of the vl Modules that
use mini-GBICs, without having to first remove the module, and without
having to shut down the switch (you must remove the network cable
before hot-swapping a mini-GBIC)
■ "hot swap X2 transceiver" operation—you can add, replace, or change the
type of any of the X2 transceivers that you use in the 10-GbE vl Module,
without having to first remove the module, and without having to shut
down the switch (you must remove the network cable before hot-swap-
ping a transceiver)
