(HP J4093A)
Throughout this manual, these switches will be abbreviated as the Switch
1600M and Switch 2424M, or when common features are being described, as
the Switch 1600M and 2424M.
The Switch 1600M and 2424M have 16 and 24 autosensing 10/100Base-T ports
respectively. Both switches have a module slot for installing any of the
supported switch modules. The modules provide expanded network connec-
tivity, and media and network speed flexibility. For the Switch 2424M, the HP
ProCurve Gigabit Stacking Module can be installed allowing up to seven
switches to be stacked and interconnected with a high speed backbone.
With these switches you can build a switched network infrastructure by
connecting them to hubs, other switches, or routers, or you can directly
connect computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to
those devices.
