HP ProCurve Switch xl Modules
Troubleshooting
Tip
Number Problem
The module installed
in the slot that
corresponds to the
letter that is blinking
is an invalid module.
The module installed
in the slot that
corresponds to the
letter that is blinking
has experienced a
self test or
initialization fault.

The fact that the Link and Mode LEDs are never lit on the module indicates
that it is a ProCurve Switch gl module and should not be used in your xl
switch.
Ensure you have installed an xl module in the slot. HP ProCurve
xl
gl modules will fit in the slot, but they are not compatible with
your ProCurve xl switch. Check to make sure that the module
has a magenta "xl module" symbol on it.
Remove the module from the switch and replace it with an xl module, or
recover the slot with the cover plate. You can remove and replace the
module without having to power down the switch. Call your HP-
authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to
get information on supported Switch xl modules.
The modules are all tested whenever the switch is powered on, or reset
(through the Reset button on the switch, or the Reboot or Reset options
in the console or web browser interface), and when they are hot swapped
(installed when the switch is powered on).
Since the Link and Mode LEDs on the module were lit at least briefly, that
indicates that the module did receive power from the switch, but the
subsequent download process failed. Either the module is faulty, or it is
a new module type that is not yet supported by the software on the
switch.
As Hewlett-Packard introduces new modules for your HP ProCurve
Switch xl, you may have to update the switch with new software that
supports the module. See the module descriptions at the beginning of this
guide to find out which version of the switch software is needed to support
the module.
First, verify that the switch has a version of software that supports the
module that is indicating the fault. If necessary, download the new
software and retest the module. The latest software can be downloaded
from the HP ProCurve web site at
software that supports the module is on a CD-ROM that is included with
your module.
If you have correct software installed in the switch, try removing and
reinstalling the module. You can do this without having to power down
the switch. When the module is reinstalled, it will be retested
automatically.
If the fault indication reoccurs, the module is faulty. Remove the module
from the switch and replace it with another module, or recover the slot
with the cover plate. 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.
