    RFI fingers. The RFI fingers are identified in one of the illustrations on the next page. If the RFI fingers are dislodged, make sure to unplug the switch, remove the RFI fingers from the switch chassis, and reinstall them before powering on the switch.
  • Page 13 Installing the module in a horizontal slot Note: Use some caution when installing modules. Excessive installation force could cause the RFI fingers on the switch or adjacent module or bulkhead to be dislodged. Please see the “Installation Precautions” on the previous page.
  • Page 14 Verify the module is installed correctly. Observe the Module Status LED for the slot in which the module is being installed, and the Self Test and Fault LEDs on the switch to verify that the module is installed properly. Fault LED...
  • Page 15 If, however, the configuration is changed to one of the 100 Mbps fixed options (100-Half Duplex or 100-Full Duplex), the port operates as an MDI-X port. In that case, to connect the module to another switch or hub, use a crossover cable; to connect to an end node, use a straight-through cable.
  • Page 16 RJ-45 connector Notes: • The RJ-45 ports on the 10/100Base-T module are all wired as MDI-X ports. For connecting these to another switch or hub, use a crossover cable; for connecting these to an end node, use a straight-through cable.

  • Page 18 Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that the port(s) connected in the preceding step are operating correctly. Each port on the switch modules has Link and Mode LEDs near it as shown in the next illustration.
  • Page 19: Mode Conditioning Patch Cord For Gigabit-Lx

    If you experience a high number of transmission errors on the Gigabit-LX ports, usually CRC or FCS errors, you may need to install one of these patch cords between the Gigabit-LX Module installed in your switch and your multimode fiber-optic network cabling, and between the Gigabit-LX trans- mission device and the network cabling at the other end of the multimode fiber-optic cable run.

    Recommended Patch Cords The following Mode Conditioning Patch Cords have been tested and verified to operate correctly with the HP ProCurve Switch Gigabit-LX Module: Computer Crafts These part numbers could change. Contact Computer Crafts through the world wide web at www.computer-crafts.com.
  • Page 21: Customizing The Port Configuration

    Customizing the Port Configuration If the slot in which you installed the module was empty the last time the switch was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was cycled), then the module will use preconfigured default parameter values that will work for most networks.
  • Page 22: Replacing Or Removing A Module

    Grab the screws and pull the module out from the slot. It may help to brace your hands against the face of the switch and “lever” the module out from the switch slot.
  • Page 23: Resetting The Switch

    Resetting the Switch Reasons for Resetting the Switch Generally, you only need to reset the switch when it needs to recognize a change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some circumstances in which you will need to reset the switch are: Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a different type of module—for example, installing a 100/1000Base-T Module in a slot...
  • Page 24: Troubleshooting

    If the fault indication reoccurs, the module may have failed. Remove the module from the switch and replace it with another module, or recover the slot with the cover plate. Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty booklet for more information.
  • Page 25 You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the web browser interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches network management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.
