Introducing the HP ProCurve Switch 4000M and 8000M The HP ProCurve Switch 4000M and 8000M are multiport switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low latency for high-speed networking.
Page 8
Introducing the HP ProCurve Switch 4000M and 8000M The Switch 4000M has five preinstalled HP ProCurve Switch 10/100Base-T Modules and five universal slots for installing any of the supported switch modules. The Switch 8000M has 10 universal slots for installing any of the supported switch modules.
Modules, Power Supplies, and Fans N o t e The Switch 8000M is shown in this illustration with a variety of modules installed. The Switch 4000M has the same physical features, but with five 10/100Base-T switch modules preinstalled in slots A through E.
The Status LED for the module or other device with the fault will flash simultaneously. On briefly at the beginning of switch self test after the switch is powered on or reset. If on for a prolonged time, the switch has encountered a fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self test.

The cooling fans are operating normally. (green) † Flashing One or more of the cooling fans have failed. The switch Fault LED will be flashing simultaneously. † The flashing behavior is an on/off cycle once every 1.6 seconds, approximately. Table 1-3.
100 Mbps. Console Port This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connecting a Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch 4000M and 8000M”.
Introducing the HP ProCurve Switch 4000M and 8000M Reset Button This button is used to reset the switch while it is powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are...
Slot for Redundant Power Supply A second, load-sharing redundant power supply (HP ProCurve Switch 4000M/ 8000M Power Supply, HP J4119A) can be installed in the back of the switch. To provide true redundancy, this second power supply should be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply.

Introducing the HP ProCurve Switch 4000M and 8000M Switch Operation Overview Switch Operation Overview Address Table Operation Address Learning. As devices are connected to the switch ports, either directly or through hubs or other switches that are connected to the switch, the MAC addresses of those devices are learned automatically and stored in the Switch 8000M’s 8000-entry address table.
VLANs unless the VLANs are connected by an external router. For more information on configuring VLANs and their behavior, see the HP ProCurve Switch 8000M and 1600M Management and Configuration Guide that came with your switch.
Installing the Switch 4000M and 8000M The HP Switch 4000M and 8000M are easy to install units. They each come with an accessory kit that includes the brackets for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch telco rack or an equipment cabinet, or on a wall, and with rubber feet already attached so they can be securely located on a horizontal surface.
2-3 for some installation precautions. Install switch modules (page 2-5). The Switch 4000M and the Switch 8000M have ten universal slots for installing any of the HP ProCurve switch modules. The Switch 4000M has five 10/100Base-T modules pre- installed. Depending on where you will install the Switch 4000M and 8000M, it may be easier to install the modules first, but the modules are “hot swappable”—they can also be installed and removed after the switch...
Configuration changes can be made easily by through the switch’s console interface. At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
In the front of the switch, allow at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling. In the back of the switch, allow at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space for the power cord.
Torx T-10 screwdriver. Retain the slot cover for future use. N o t e s Any of the supported switch modules can be installed in any of the slots. The modules can be “hot swapped”, installed when the switch is powered on, and normally will be immediately operational.
3. (Optional) Install Second Power Supply A second, load-sharing redundant power supply (HP ProCurve Switch 4000M/ 8000M Power Supply, HP J4119A) can be installed in the back of the switch. To provide true redundancy, this second power supply should be connected to a different AC power source from the other supply.

Insert the power supply into the opening, lower it until it rests on the bottom of the switch chassis, then slide it all the way in until it connects to the switch. The power supply face plate will be flush with the back of the switch.
The Switch 4000M and 8000M do not have a power switch. They are powered on when the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source. If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country.
Switch Engine Module LEDs When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. The self test takes approximately 35 to 70 seconds to complete, depending on the number and type of modules installed in the switch. LED Behavior: During the self test: •...
After the modules and optional power supply are installed and you have verified that the switch passes self test, you are ready to mount the switch in a stable location. The Switch 4000M and 8000M can be mounted in these ways:...

If a module has to be replaced with one of the same type, or you are expanding the switch capability by adding a module in a slot where one was not previ- ously installed, the replaced or new module is immediately operational; there is no interruption to the switch operation.
Installing the Switch 4000M and 8000M Where to Go From Here Where to Go From Here Your switch is now correctly installed and is able to send and receive data between end nodes, servers, and printers. The Switch 4000M and 8000M are plug-and-communicate network devices requiring no configuration.
You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting using the soft- ware tools available with the switch, including the full-featured console interface, the built-in web browser interface, and HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches, the SNMP-based network management tool. See the chapter 8, “Troubleshooting”...

Spanning Tree can be enabled through the switch console, the web browser interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs and Switches. The Switch 8000M also supports Switch Meshing which allows multiple data paths though a switched network to be active simultaneously for enhanced network bandwidth.
Tables 3-1 shows LED patterns on the switch and the switch modules that indicate problem conditions. Check in the table for the LED pattern that you see on your switch Refer to the corresponding diagnostic tip on the next few pages.
If the power source and power cord are OK and this condition persists, the switch power supply may have failed. Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/ Warranty card for more information.

Checking the Switch LEDs The self-test passes if the Fault and Self Test LEDs on the front of the switch go off after approximately 30 to 70 seconds depending on the number and type of modules installed in the switch. If these LEDs stay on longer than 80 seconds or begin flashing, the switch may have to be replaced.
