ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Installing Modules Installation procedures are similar for all modules. However, because there are three different types of modules—switch fabric, management, and interface modules—make sure that you insert each module in its appropriate slot. See the following sections for details.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Caution To avoid damaging modules and the backplane, be sure to insert each type of module in its appropriate slot by referring to the slot number or label, as shown in the following illustration. Numbered slots for interface modules FM slots for switch fabric modules MM slots for management modules 2. If you are using a 10-Port Mini-GBIC Interface Module, install the mini-GBICs in the module.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Installation Precautions 5. Verify that network connections are working properly (see “Verifying Cable Connections” on page 20). 6. Configure the ports on any newly installed interface module (see “Customizing a Port Configuration” on page 24). ■ Avoid damage from static electricity. Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the modules.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Installing a Switch Fabric Module A ProCurve Switch 8100fl requires at least one switch fabric module to process traffic for any interface module. Only one switch fabric module is required for full throughput. Note that the 8-slot Switch 8108fl uses the half-height switch fabric module. The 16-slot Switch 8116fl uses a full-height switch fabric module. These modules are not interchangeable.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules 6. Tighten the captive screw on each ejector by hand and seat with a screw driver to keep the module from being removed accidentally. Do not overtighten the captive screws. (You can tighten the thumb screws with a P2 Phillips screwdriver to eliminate the possibility of casual removal by unauthorized personnel.) 2. Install switch fabric modules in either of the two center slots. 3. Rotate ejectors to secure and tighten captive screws. 1.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Installing a Management Module The management module is the main processing unit of a ProCurve Switch 8100fl and is required for the switch to operate. The management module contains system-wide bridging and routing tables, and runs the main control protocols. You can install the same management module in both the Switch 8108fl and Switch 8116fl chassis.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules 6. Tighten the captive screw on each ejector by hand and seat with a screw driver to keep the module from being removed accidentally. Do not overtighten the captive screws. (You can tighten the thumb screws with a P2 Phillips screwdriver to eliminate the possibility of casual removal by unauthorized personnel.) 2. Install management modules on either side of the two central slots. 3. Push in ejectors in to secure and tighten captive screws. 1.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Installing an Interface Module ProCurve 8100fl switches provide non-blocking throughput regardless of the software features you are using. Therefore, you do not need to “load balance” interface modules by placing them in certain physical relationships to balance the load on the backplane. Regardless of where you install the interface modules, the backplane can provide full, non-blocking throughput.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules 2. Install interface modules in any of the numbered slots on the left and right side of the chassis. 3. Push ejectors in to secure and tighten captive screws. 1. Pull out upper ejector lever and hold it in unlocked position. Interface Module Metal Plate Module Guides Note An interface module must be fully seated and the ejectors must be fully locked (vertical) before the captive screws will align properly.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Verifying Module Installation After you have installed all the modules necessary for your switch, follow the procedure in this section verify correct module installation. To verify module installation: 1. Make sure all exposed interface module slots and power supply bays are free of foreign objects, such as tools, and have the correct slot covers. 2. Replace the power and slot covers over any empty power bays and module slots.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Connecting the Network Cables After you verify the installation of each module and have installed the requisite mini-GBICs or transceivers, connect the appropriate network cable to each port according to the cable types defined in Table 1. For more information about cabling, see “Connectors and Cables” on page 35. Table 1.

ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Verifying Cable Connections For Switch fl interface modules, when you connect a network cable from an active network device to the switch, the LED for the switch port should light on as described in Table 2 and Table 3. Management and Switch Fabric Modules LEDs The ProCurve Switch fl Redundant Management and Switch Fabric Modules have an Active LED (on top) and a Status LED (on bottom). The LED states described in Table 2 are common to both types of module.

ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Troubleshooting Module Operation If the Link LED for a port does not light on, follow the procedures in Table 4 to troubleshoot the module operation. Table 4. Using LEDs to Troubleshoot Error Condition Diagnostic Procedure A port LED remains off after • Verify that both ends of the port’s cabling (at the switch and at the connected device) are securely connected. you connect a cable.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing Modules Customizing a Port Configuration The ProCurve Switch 8100fl allows you to build a configuration for a module that is not yet installed. For example, although slot 2 is empty, you can still configure an interface, add an IP address to it, and then save the configuration for later use. If the slot in which you install a module has not been preconfigured, you must configure the module and enable its ports for network operation.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing or Removing Transceivers Installing or Removing Transceivers If you installed an X2 10GbE module (J8736A or J8737A), you can now install a copper or fiber optic transceiver to enable network connectivity to the port. Note You can install or remove a transceiver without having to power off the switch. Use only the ProCurve supported transceivers (see page 5). Installing Transceivers To install a transceiver: 1.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing or Removing Transceivers Removing Transceivers To remove a transceiver: 1. Disconnect the network cable from the transceiver before removing it from the module. 2. If your transceiver has a wire bail, lower the bail and then use the bail to pull the transceiver from the slot. If your transceiver does not have a bail, pull the transceiver straight out.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing and Removing mini-GBICs Installing and Removing mini-GBICs You can remove or install a mini-GBIC from the 10-port mini-GBIC Module without having to power off the switch. Use only ProCurve mini-GBICs.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Installing and Removing mini-GBICs Caution If the mini-GBIC does not go in easily, do not force it. If it is not oriented properly, it will stop about one quarter of the way into the slot—remove and reorient the mini-GBIC so that it slides easily into the slot. Keep the dust plug in the mini-GBIC when no fiber cable is plugged in. The optics will not work properly when obstructed with dust or contaminants.

ProCurve Switch fl Modules Replacing or Removing a Module Replacing or Removing a Module Follow the procedures in this section to replace an installed module with a new module, or to remove a module without replacing it. When installing a new module, it is not necessary to reset the switch. However, some configuration changes may be required for the module to be made operational. See below for details. Caution Be careful when you remove an interface module from the switch.
ProCurve Switch fl Modules Troubleshooting and Support Troubleshooting and Support One of the main ways to troubleshoot the operation of Switch fl modules is by using the LEDs on the front of the switch and on the modules. Refer to the tables in “Verifying Cable Connections” on page 20 for a description of normal LED behavior. Also, refer to the ProCurve Switch 8100fl Series: Installation and Getting Started Guide for more detailed troubleshooting information.
