HP Switch zl Modules

For the HP E8200 zl Switches Only

The following modules are designed specifically for the E8200 zl switches only.

Module Description

HP ProCurve Switch

8200zl Management

Module (J9092A)

The switch requires at least one

management module to operate.

The management module

maintains persistent images of all

software that runs on the system.

The primary non-volatile storage

medium is a Compact Flash card

located on the module. Two of

these can be installed as a

redundancy feature.

HP ProCurve Switch

8200zl Fabric Module

(J9093A)

The switching fabric is provided by

two fabric modules. These

modules are load sharing, and

should one fail the other one can

run the system at half the total

bandwidth.

8200zl System Support

Module (J9095A)

The SSM contains all the circuitry

for monitoring the status of the

different components of the

switch.

E8200 zl Management Module Dependencies

The HP E8206 zl and E8212 zl switches both use the same management module

(J9092A). However, the E8206 zl switch Management Module requires soft-

ware release K.14.34 or later, and the E8212 zl switch Management Module

requires software release K.12.31 or later.

Using a spare or E8212 zl Management Module in an E8206 zl

switch

Any J9092A management module will operate in both the E8206 zl and E8212

zl chassis when the correct minimum software version is loaded prior to

installing the module. If you want to install a management module taken from

an E8212 zl switch into an E8206 zl switch, you will first need to update the

module’s software to its minimum supported release, K.14.34 or greater.
