Configuration Changes
In normal operation, whenever changes are made to the primary management
module's configuration file, the changes are copied to the redundant manage
ment module's configuration file. In this way, if the primary management
module fails, the redundant module has all the configuration information
necessary to take over as the primary.
Removal and Installation Precautions
Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the modules. When
■
handling and installing the modules in your switch, follow these procedures to avoid damage
from static electricity:
•
Handle the module by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the components and the circuitry on the board.
•
When installing the module, equalize any static charge difference between your body and the switch by
wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the switch's grounding point, or by frequently touching the
switch's metal body.
•
Take appropriate care when removing interface modules from the ProCurve 8100fl Switch. They may be hot to
the touch.
The ProCurve 8100fl Switch modules have "low-force", high-performance connectors. High
■
insertion forces are not necessary to install the modules, and should not be used.
■
Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into the slot until the
bulkhead on the module is contacting or is very close to contacting the front face of the switch
chassis. Then rotate the extractors until they are fully closed (vertical).
Once the module is fully inserted, make sure you screw in the two retaining screws to secure
■
the module in place.
■
For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure
that a slot cover is installed on any unused module slot. For safety, no more than one slot should
be uncovered at a time when the switch is powered on.
Removing Modules
To remove a module:
1. Loosen the captive screws on each end of the module.
2. Unseat the module by pulling on the ejector levers on the top and bottom
3. Carefully remove the module from its slot in the chassis.
