Downloading Software
3. Check the “OS Version” line in the Switch Information screen.
• If the version number is A.02.50 or later, the Switch 2000 can support
the 100Base-T Module. In this case, go to “Installing the 100Base-T
Module in an Unused Slot” on page 7.
• If the version number is earlier than A.02.50, download a new OS
before installing the 100Base-T Module. In this case, continue with
the instructions in this section before you install the module.
Software Sources and Content
First-Time 100Base-T Module Installation: Generally, if you are installing
the 100Base-T Module in your Switch 2000 for the first time, use the software
provided on the disk you received with the module.
Upgrading a Previous 100Base-T Module Installation: If you are
upgrading the software for an existing 100Base-T Module installation, you can
use software that is either provided on a current disk or obtained in a
compressed, self-extracting file named j3100a.exe that you can download
from Hewlett-Packard’s World Wide Web or other electronic sources. (Refer
to “HP Customer Support Services” on the card included in the front of this
manual.)
Both the disk and the self-extracting (j3100a.exe) file contain one or more
of the following files:
■ The switch update utility, named update.exe, and a readme.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.)
■ The proprietary MIB file for the Switch 2000.
■ Two OS files:
filename.swi
filename.fdd
where filename will be the same for both files; for example:
A_02_50.swi OS for the Switch 2000 chassis and all
Switch 2000 modules that operate with
version A.02.50 or earlier software.
A_02_50.fdd OS for the FDDI Module. (Necessary if
an FDDI Module is installed.)
