Determining Redundant Management Module Status - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

• Slots in an 8-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 8, from left to right.
• Slots in a 15-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 15, from left to right.
4. Click the Apply button to send the configuration change to the active module's running-config file.
5. If you want the change to remain in effect following the next system reload, select the Save link to save the
configuration change to the active redundant management module's startup-config file. (The change is
automatically sent to the standby module when the active module's system-config file is copied to the standby
module.)
NOTE: If you do not save the change to the startup-config file, the change affects only the next reload.
NOTE: The other options on this panel are described in later sections.
Inserting the Module
You can remove and insert modules when the system is powered on. Make sure you adhere to the cautions noted
in "Installation Precautions" on page 2-3.
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach the copper tape to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act
as ground.
2. Remove the module or faceplate from the slot:
3. If you are replacing another module, loosen the two screws on the module you are removing.
• Pull the card ejectors towards you, away from the module front panel. The card will unseat from the
backplane.
• Pull the module out of the chassis and place in an anti-static bag for storage.
4. If you are installing a redundant management module in an unoccupied module slot, remove the blank
faceplate from the slot in which the module is to be installed. Place the blank faceplate in a safe place for
future use.
5. Remove the redundant management module from its packaging.
6. Insert the module into the chassis slot and glide the card along the card guide until the card ejectors on the
front of the module touch the chassis.
• Modules for 4-slot chassis slide in horizontally with the module label on the left.
• Modules for 8-slot chassis slide in vertically with the module label at the top.
• Modules for 15-slot chassis slide in vertically with the module label at the top.
7. Push the ejectors toward the center of the module until they are flush with the front panel of the module. The
module will be fully seated in the backplane.
8. Tighten the two screws at either end of the module.
9. If you do not use one or more of the slots, make sure that a slot faceplate is still attached over each unused
slot for safe operation and proper system cooling.

Determining Redundant Management Module Status

You can determine the status of a redundant management module in the following ways:
• Status LED – The redundant management module has two green LEDs on the right side of the CLI serial
port. The lower LED shows the management status.
• Module information in software – The module information displayed by the software indicates whether the
module is the active module, the standby module, or has another status.
