Read Me First for zl Modules K.11.00 or greater

Note

You can install, exchange, or remove modules after the switch has been powered on, except for the J9095A

System Support Module. Removing this module with the switch powered on will cause the switch to shut down.

The same is true for the J9092A Management Module unless there are two of them installed in the switch.

Whenever a module is installed during this process, it is initialized and tested for correct operation. During this

process, the switch Self Test LED is on. If you hot swap another module while the switch is initializing and testing

the first module, it is possible to cause the first module or the entire switch to be reset.

Hot Swap Precautionary Procedures. To prevent the modules or switch from being reset when you must hot

swap multiple modules, follow these simple precautions:

■ Do not install/remove any modules from the switch while the switch Self Test LED is lit.

■ Before removing or installing any modules, make sure that all network cables are disconnected from

the module.

See the “Installing the Modules” section of the ProCurve Switch zl Modules Installation Guide, for more

information.
