2347.book Page 3 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module Installing the Module Overview You can install any of the modules into any of the HP ProCurve switches that have a compatible module slot. The installation steps are: 1. For the Gigabit-LX Module or 100/1000Base-T Module, download the new OS code to your HP ProCurve switch. The switch must be running OS version C.05.06 or later to support the Gigabit-LX Module and version C.07.
2347.book Page 4 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module Downloading Switch Software Verifying Current Switch Software Most of the HP ProCurve Switch Modules are supported by all versions of the switch operating system (OS). For two of the modules, your HP ProCurve Switch must be running specific OS versions: ■ Gigabit-LX Module (HP J4114A) - OS version C.05.06 or later ■ 100/1000Base-T Module (HP J4115B) - OS version C.07.
2347.book Page 5 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module Downloading the New OS This procedure describes how to use a personal computer (PC) to download the OS. If you are using a UNIX workstation, refer to the Note at the bottom of this page. 1. 2.
2347.book Page 6 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module 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.

Excessive installation force could cause the RFI fingers on the switch or adjacent module or bulkhead to be dislodged. Please see the “Installation Precautions” on the previous page.
2347.book Page 8 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module 4. Verify 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 that the module is installed properly.
2347.book Page 9 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module 5. Tighten the two retaining screws with a flat-blade or Torx T-10 screwdriver to secure the module in the slot. Be careful not to overtighten the screws. tighten these two screws 6. Note Connect the appropriate network cables to the module's ports as shown in the table on the next two pages. The table shows the supported cable types for each of the modules. For more information on the cable specifications, see “Cables” on page 22.

2347.book Page 12 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module 7. 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. Example Link and Mode LEDs Link and Mode LEDs • The Link LED will be lit for each port that is connected properly to an active network device.
2347.book Page 13 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiber-optic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX Module installed in the switch. Unlike Gigabit-SX, which connects to only multimode fiber-optic cabling, Gigabit-LX can use either single mode or multimode cable.
2347.book Page 14 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Installing the Module Installing the Patch Cord As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the Gigabit-LX Module with the section of single mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit) port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your network cabling patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.
2347.book Page 15 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Customizing the Port Configuration 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.
2347.book Page 16 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM 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. Make sure the switch is running an OS version that supports the module. See page 4 for more information. 2. Remove any network cables from the ports on the module. 3.
47.book Page 17 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM 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.
2347.book Page 18 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM 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 Guide and the Management and Configuration Guide shipped with the switch, for more detailed troubleshooting information.
2347.book Page 19 Tuesday, May 9, 2000 12:53 PM Troubleshooting Tip Number Problem Solution ➋ 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.
