You can also visit the HP networking products Web site at http:/ /www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve to get more information. Features...
  • Page 9 Features the ports on the 10/100-TX GL Module have the HP Auto-MDIX feature, and the ports on the 100/1000-T GL Module have the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/MDI-X feature. These features operate the same way and allow you to use either “straight-through” or “crossover” twisted-pair cables for all the twisted-pair network connections.
  • Page 10: Installing The Gl Modules

    Installing the GL Modules Installing the GL Modules Overview You can install any of the GL modules into any of the HP Procurve switches that have a compatible module slot. As of this printing, those are the HP Procurve Series 4100GL Switches:...
  • Page 11: Installing The Module In An Unused Slot

    The HP Procurve Switch GL Modules have “low-force”, high-performance connectors. High insertion forces are not necessary to install the modules, and should not be used.
  • Page 12 Installing the GL Modules Insert module into the guides and slide it in until it is fully inserted. “Low-force” connector. High insertion force is not needed and should not be used. For best results, push simultaneously near both screws. The module is fully inserted when the module bulkhead is contacting, or very close to contacting the face of the switch.
  • Page 13: Installing Or Removing The Mini-Gbics

    Installing or Removing the mini-GBICs You can install or remove the mini-GBIC from the mini-GBIC GL Module without having to power off the switch. Use only HP Procurve mini-GBICs. C a u t i o n The HP Procurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.

On the 10/100-TX XL Module, this feature is identified as HP Auto-MDIX; on the 100/1000-T XL Module, it is identified as Auto MDI/MDI-X and it is part of the IEEE 802.3ab standard. Both features operate the same.

    Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiber-optic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port. Unlike Gigabit-SX, which connects to only multimode fiber-optic cabling, Gigabit-LX can use either single-mode or multimode cable. Multimode cable has a design characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires that the transmission signals be “conditioned”...
