L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 4 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM Transceiver Installation Overview To install the HP 100Base-T Transceivers, follow these steps: 1. Unplug the switch from the AC power supply (or, for the Switch 2000, remove the 100Base-T Module from the switch). C aution To avoid possible damage to the transceiver circuitry, turn off power to the device before installing the transceiver into it.
L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 5 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM Insert the Transceiver Into the Slot The transceivers are installed into an HP networking device, as follows: 1. Unplug the HP networking device from the AC power source. Then, using a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver, unscrew the two retaining screws on the existing transceiver or 100Base-T transceiver cover plate, and remove it from the HP networking device or device module. Loosen these screws 2.
L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 6 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM Connect Network Cables to the Transceiver or Port. Cabling for an HP 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Transceiver The HP 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Transceiver connects an HP networking device to an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) network using Category 5 cable or better. This transceiver is compatible with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standards. MDI/MDI-X Connections.
L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 7 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM When power has been supplied to the HP networking device or device module into which the transceiver is installed, check the port LED that pertains to the transceiver on the device. If the transceiver is receiving a signal properly, the port LED should be ON. If the port LED is OFF, see “Troubleshooting” on page 18.

L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 9 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM Software (OS) Update for the Switch 2000. The Software (OS) Update Disks shipped with your transceiver include operating system (OS) updates for the “A” and “B” versions of the Switch 2000—HP J3100A and HP J3100B—plus an Update utility and other information. Do You Need To Update the Switch 2000 OS? If you are installing a 100Base-T transceiver in the Switch 2000, do the following to determine which OS version the switch is using: 1.
L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 10 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM ■ The switch update utility, named update.exe, and an update.txt file containing instructions on how to use the update utility, plus other information. (This is a PC-based utility that you can run from DOS or from a DOS window to download the new switch software from a PC directory. This utility requires an RS-232 serial connection to the Switch 2000.) ■ Two OS files: filename.swi filename.
L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 11 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM OS Download Steps. Use this procedure if you need to download a new OS version to your Switch 2000. The procedure describes how to use a personal computer (PC) to download the OS. (If you are using a UNIX workstation, refer to the Note below.) 1. 2. Copy the files from the disk into the DOS directory you will use for downloading to the switch. (You can also download directly from the disk.

If your TFTP server is a UNIX system, ensure that the case (upper or lower) that you specify for the filename in the Switch 800T Download OS screen is the same case as the OS filename in the TFTP server.
L&h_c_2.fm5 Page 18 Wednesday, July 15, 1998 12:22 PM Troubleshooting The fiber-optic cable connector doesn’t fit in the 100Base-FX transceiver. The fiber-optic transceiver has SC connectors. You may be trying to connect a cable with ST connectors. SC-to-ST adapters are available. Contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer. The port LED for the 100Base-T transceiver is not on. The connected module or device must be a 100Base-T device that is powered on. A connected device is not transmitting the signal.
