Installation Guide for ProCurve Switches 1600M, 2424M, 4000M, and 8000M Modules 2000-04

Descriptions

Contact your HP-authorized networking products reseller or your HP repre-

sentative for information on availability of other modules. You can also visit

the HP networking products Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/procurve to

get more information.

Example: The HP ProCurve 4-Port 100Base-FX Module

Features: The HP ProCurve Switch Modules have the following features:

■ auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network

operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected

■ auto-configuration—a default configuration is applied to the module

when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default

configuration works well for most network installations

■ LEDs that provide information on the link status, network activity,

connection bandwidth, and communication mode (half or full duplex)

■ “hot swap” operation—you can add a module or replace a module without

having to shut down the switch (changing the module type in a given slot

does require a switch reset)

■ standards adherence:

• the 10/100Base-T Module (HP J4111A) is compatible with the

IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards

• the 100Base-FX Module (HP J4112A) is compatible with the

IEEE 802.3u 100Base-FX standard

• the Gigabit-SX Module (HP J4113A) and Gigabit-LX Module

(HP J4114A) are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit-SX and

Gigabit-LX standards

• the 100/1000Base-T Module (HP J4115B) is compatible with the

IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX and IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standards

• the 10Base-FL Module (HP J4118A) is compatible with the

IEEE 802.3j 10Base-FL standard
