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

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.07.27 or later to support the “B” model of the 100/1000Base-T Module

(HP J4115B) (see page 4). The new code is found on the floppy disk

included with the module.

You can also copy the OS file from the HP networking products world

wide web site:

http://www.hp.com/go/procurve

The software files to download can be accessed by clicking on Technical

Support on that web page.

2. Install the module in a switch slot (see page 6).

3. Verify that the module is installed correctly (see page 8).

4. Connect the network cabling (see page 9).

5. Optionally, customize the configuration for the module’s ports (unless the

default port configuration is satisfactory for your network application -

see page 15).

6. Reset the switch, if you have installed the module into a slot that was

previously occupied by a different type module (see page 17).

Note If necessary, you can “hot-swap” one module for another; that is, replace one

module with another while the switch is still powered on, without interrupting

the operation of the rest of the switch ports. For more information, see page 16.

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.07.27 or later

To determine which OS version is running in the switch, connect a console to

the switch and perform the following (see the switch Installation Guide for

more information about connecting a console and using the console inter-

face):

1. From the console Main Menu, select Status and Counters... to display the

Status and Counters menu.

2. Select General System Information... to display the Switch Information

screen, as shown in the next figure.

3. Check the “Firmware Revision” line.

• If the OS version number is C.05.06 or later, the switch can support the

Gigabit-LX Module; if the version is C.07.27 or later, the switch can

support the 100/1000Base-T Module (“B” model), and you do not need

to download new software to the switch. In this case, go to “Installing

the Module in an Unused Slot” on page 6.

• If the version number is earlier than the required version, download the

new OS, as described on the next page, before installing the module.
