10/100-TX vl Module have the HP Auto MDI-X feature, ■ and the ports on the Gig-T vl Module have the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/ MDI-X feature. These features operate the same way and allow you to use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables for all the twisted-pair network connections.

During this process, the switch Self Test LED is on. If you hot swap another module while the switch is initializing and testing the first module, it is possible to cause the first module or the entire switch to be reset.
Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into the slot until the bulkhead on the module is contacting or is very close to contacting the front face of the switch chassis. Once the module is fully inserted, make sure that you screw in the two retaining screws to ■...

ProCurve Switch vl Modules Installing the Modules Insert module into the guides and slide it in until it is fully inserted. Figure 4. Installing a Module “Low-force” connector. High insertion force is not needed and should not be used. For best results, push simultaneously near both screws.
You can install or remove the mini-GBIC from the mini-GBIC vl Module, or the Gig-T/SFP vl Module, without having to power off the switch. Use only ProCurve mini-GBICs with the letter “B” (or greater) at the end of the product number (for example, J4858B or J4860C).
Page 16
To remove the mini-GBICs that have the plastic collar, push in the plastic collar toward the switch until you see the mini-GBIC release from the switch (you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull the mini-GBIC from the slot.
Figure 8. X2 transceiver fully installed N o t e If the switch is powered on when the transceiver is installed, the Link and Mode LEDs will come on for approximately two seconds and then go off. This is confirmation the transceiver is completely seated.

As a result, you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables for all network connections to these modules. On the 10/100-TX vl Modules, this feature is identified as HP Auto MDI-X; on the Gig-T vl Module, it is identified as IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X and it is part of the IEEE 802.3ab standard.

Notes: • The RJ-45 ports on this module have the HP Auto MDI-X feature. In the default configuration, Auto, either a straight- through or crossover cable can be used to connect the port to any other 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX or 10Base-T device.

ProCurve Switch vl Modules Installing the Modules Connecting the 10-GbE Network cables Connecting a fiber cable. 1. Remove the dust covers from the cable connectors and the port. 2. Aligning the notches on the cable connectors with the slots of the port, press the cable connector into the port until it snaps into place.
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.
Installing the Modules Default 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.
Figure 13. Retaining screws Grab the screws and pull the module out from the slot. It may help to brace your hands against the face of the switch and “lever” the module out from the switch slot. Do one of the following: •...
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. Some circumstances in which you will need to reset the switch are: Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a different ■...
Troubleshooting One of the primary tools for troubleshooting the switch modules is the LEDs on the front of the switch and on the modules. Refer to “LED Behavior” on page 12 for a description of the normal LED behavior. Also, refer to the switch Installation and Getting Started Guide for more detailed troubleshooting information for the switch.
If the power source and power cord are OK and this condition persists, the switch power supply may have failed. Call your HP-authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance. See the Customer Support/ Warranty card for more information.

Reconnect the power supply to the AC power source. If the error indication reoccurs after the supply is reinstalled, the power supply may be faulty. Call your HP- authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from HP to get assistance.

The modules are all tested whenever the switch is powered on, or reset (through the Reset button on the switch, or the Reboot or Reset options in the console or web browser interface), and when they are hot swapped (installed when the switch is powered on).
Page 31
When you “hot swap” modules in the switch slots, if you install a different module corresponding to type than the one that was previously installed in the slot, you must reset the switch the letter that is so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type.

Try the following procedures: • For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the connected device, are securely connected. • Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.

ELFEXT, and Return Loss. When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect the switch and other end devices to the patch panels on your site. The patch cables are frequently overlooked when testing cable and they must also comply with the cabling standards.
For distances less than 20km, a 10dB attenuator must be used. For distances between 20km and 40km, a 5dB attenuator must be used. Attenuators can be purchased from most cable vendors. ProCurve Switch vl Modules Connector Maximum Length...
