IMPORTANT:
The 2-Port X2 10Gbe Module (J8737A) requires software version CY.02.05.xxxx or greater. When
upgrading to the latest software version you must also upgrade all Boot ROMs on the switch. Refer
to the current Release Notes for details—visit www.procurve.com. (Click on Technical support, then
Product manuals, then ProCurve 8100fl Series.)
Note
To avoid damaging modules and the backplane, be sure that you insert the right type of module into
the appropriate slot. If you attempt to install a module in the wrong slot, physical keying prevents
the module from fully entering into the slot. For more information refer to the ProCurve Switch fl
Modules Installation Guide (5991-6192), that came with your module.
