HP ProCurve Switch 2424M Gigabit

Stacking Kit Installation Guide

Introduction

The HP ProCurve Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Kit (HP J4116A) is used

to provide a 1000 Mbps stacking connection between two HP ProCurve

Switch 2424M units. The kit consists of two HP ProCurve Gigabit Stacking

Transceivers and a 0.5-meter shielded twisted-pair Stacking Cable.

Install each of the transceivers in the kit into either one of the transceiver

slots of two HP ProCurve Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Modules

(HP J4130A). Each module is then installed into the module slot of the two

HP ProCurve Switch 2424M units that you want to stack together. The

transceivers are then connected through the Stacking Cable supplied in the

kit as shown in the illustration below.

To connect another switch to these two would require another Gigabit

Stacking Kit.

This document describes how to install, verify, and troubleshoot the HP

ProCurve Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Kit.

M IP 3DJH 0RQGD\ 0DUFK 30 Installing the Stacking Kit Precautions: ■ ■ Do not “hot swap” the transceivers. To avoid possible damage to the transceiver circuitry, remove the Gigabit Stacking Module from the switch before installing transceivers into it, or unplug the power from the Switch 2424M. Please see the Gigabit Stacking Module Installation Guide (J4130-90001) for more information.

M IP 3DJH 0RQGD\ 0DUFK 30 Insert the Transceiver Into the Slot The Stacking Transceivers are installed into the Gigabit Stacking Module, as follows: 1. Remove the Gigabit Stacking Module from the Switch 2424M, or unplug the Switch 2424M from the AC power source. Then, using a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver, unscrew the two retaining screws on the slot cover plate or existing transceiver, and remove it from the module.

M IP 3DJH 0RQGD\ 0DUFK 30 Connect the Stacking Cable to the Transceiver Ports To connect the 0.5-meter Stacking Cable to the transceiver: 1. Press the cable connector into the transceiver jack so that the connector snaps securely into place. 2. Repeat step 1 for the Stacking Transceiver in the other Switch 2424M at the other end of the cable. Note: If you need a longer stacking connection, a 10meter cable has also been tested and verified.

Link LED If the Link LED is off, see “Troubleshooting”, below. Troubleshooting The following problems may exist: ■ ■ The Link LED for the transceiver is not on, even though the transceiver is receiving power and the stacking cable is connected.
