Descriptions HP ProCurve Switch gl Modules For the HP ProCurve Series 4100gl Switches Descriptions. The HP ProCurve Switch gl Modules are components that you can add to an HP ProCurve gl switch to provide a variety of network connec tivity options.
Features Module HP ProCurve Switch 100-FX MTRJ gl Module (J4892A)†† Description ��������� � � � � � � � � � �� �� �� ��������������������� � � � � � � � � � �� �� �� ����������� �� ����������� ��������� 12 100-FX ports with MT-RJ connectors for 100 Mbps networking over multimode fiber-optic cable. ������ ������ HP ProCurve Gig-T/ mini-GBIC gl Module (J4908A)** ++ 20 ports of 10/100/1000Base-T with 2 ports of mini-GBIC gigabit Ethernet.**.
Features The HP ProCurve Switch gl Modules have the following features: ■ auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected. ■ auto-configuration—a default configuration is applied to the module when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default configuration works well for most network installations.
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: ■ 4108gl (p/n J4865A) ■ 4108gl Bundle (p/n J4861A) ■ 4104gl (p/n J4887A) ■ 4140gl (p/n J8151A) ■ 4148gl (p/n J4888A) -- a 4104gl bundle ■ 4160gl (p/n J8152A) You can install the modules into the switch either with the switch powered on or off.
Installing the gl Modules Installing the Module in an Unused Slot 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.
Installing the gl Modules 1. 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. 2. Then tighten the retaining screws on the module until they are secure, but do not overtighten them.
Installing the gl Modules 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. Caution The HP ProCurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port. Installing the mini-GBICs: Hold the mini-GBIC by its sides and gently insert it into any of the slots in the module until the mini-GBIC clicks into place.
Installing the gl Modules Verifying the Module is Installed Correctly Observe the Module Status LED for the slot in which the module is being installed, and the Self Test and Fault LEDs on the switch to verify the module is installed properly.
Installing the gl Modules Connecting the Network Cables Connect the appropriate network cables to the module's ports as shown in the table below and on the next two pages. More detailed cable information is included under “Cables” on page 23. The cabling that you would use for the HP ProCurve Gigabit Transceivers that are installed in the Gigabit Transceiver gl Module depends on the types of transceivers you are using.
Installing the gl Modules Module Cable Type 100/1000-T gl Module �������������������� � ���� � � ����������� ���������� ��������� � � � � � � � �� ������ RJ-45 ports with “Auto MDI/MDI-X” twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connector 100 Mbps operation: category 5, 100-ohm differential twisted-pair cable 100 meters 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) operation: category 5E, 100-ohm cable is recommended, although category 5 cable may also work.
Installing the gl Modules Module Cable Type multimode fiber-optic cables that are fitted with MT-RJ connectors.
Installing the gl Modules Verifying the Network Connections Are Working Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that the port(s) connected in the preceding step are operating correctly. Each port on the switch modules has Link and Mode LEDs near it as shown in the next illustration. The Link LED lights up the port number and the Mode LED lights up the little white box next to the number.
Installing the gl Modules Customizing the Port Configuration If the slot in which you installed the module was empty the last time the switch was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was cycled), then the module will use preconfigured default parameter values that will work for most networks.
Installing the gl Modules ■ Advanced Features: Spanning Tree, Trunking, VLANs, Security, and so forth, all Disabled • Trunking for the J4908A is accomplished differently than normal, therefore you must follow these guidelines.
Replacing or Removing a Module Replacing or Removing a Module Follow these procedures to replace one module with another, or to remove a module without replacing it: 1. Remove any network cables from the ports on the module. 2. On the module you want to remove from the switch, unscrew the retaining screws enough to disconnect them from the threaded holes in the switch.
Resetting the Switch Resetting the Switch Reasons for Resetting the Switch Generally, you only need to reset the switch when it needs to recognize a change in its hardware or software (console) configuration.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting The primary tools for troubleshooting the switch modules are the LEDs on the front of the switch and on the modules. Refer to “LED Behavior” on page 8. Also, refer to the Installation and Getting Started Guide for more detailed troubleshooting information. The following tables describe switch and module LED displays that indicate that the module or connections to the ports on the module are not operating correctly.
Troubleshooting Tip Number ➊ Problem Solution The module installed in the slot that corresponds to the letter that is flashing is an invalid module. The fact that the Link and Mode LEDs never are lit on the module indicates that it is a ProCurve Switch XL module and should not be used in your gl switch. Ensure you have installed a gl module in the slot. HP ProCurve XL modules will fit in the slot, but they are not compatible with your ProCurve gl switch.
Troubleshooting Tip Number ➌ Problem Solution A module was installed in the slot that is a different type than the previously installed module, and the switch has not yet been reset. When you “hot swap” modules in the switch slot, if you install a different module type than the one that was previously installed in the slot, you must reset the switch so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type.
Troubleshooting Tip Number ➏ Problem The network connection is not working properly. Solution Try the following procedures: • For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected. • Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly. • Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection. See “Cables” on page 23 for the correct cable specifications.
