2. Install Switch Modules

Install switch modules into the slots as shown in the illustration below. For
installation details, see the instructions in the manual that comes with the
module.
C a u t i o n
Make sure you install only HP Switch zl Modules.
Avoid any electrostatic discharge problems by handling the modules only by
their bulkheads.
The slot cover can be removed, and the module can be installed with either a
flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver. Retain the slot cover for future use.

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 10.2 cm (4 inches) of space for the
power cord and cooling.
On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
Any of the supported Switch zl Modules can be installed in any of the slots.
The modules can be "hot swapped", installed after the switch is already
powered on, and normally will be immediately operational. But, if you are
replacing a module with a different type than what was previously
installed in the slot, the switch must be rebooted after the module is
installed. See "Hot Swapping the Switch Module" on
Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into
the slot using the extractor handles, until the bulkhead on the module is
contacting the front face of the switch chassis.
