HP ProCurve Switch
Gigabit Stacking Kit Installation Guide
Introduction
The HP ProCurve Switch Gigabit Stacking Kit (HP J4116A) is used to provide
a 1000 Mbps stacking connection between any two HP ProCurve switches
that support the kit. The kit consists of two HP ProCurve Gigabit Stacking
Transceivers and a 0.5-meter shielded twisted-pair Stacking Cable.
HP ProCurve Switch Gigabit Stacking Kit
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) or a transceiver slot in any other HP ProCurve switch that
supports these transceivers. If you are using the Gigabit Stacking Module,
the module is then installed into the module slot of an HP ProCurve Switch
2424M that you want to stack. The Gigabit Stacking Transceivers installed
in modules, or directly in switches, are then connected through the Stacking
Cable supplied in the kit as shown in the illustration below.
To connect another switch to these two requires another Gigabit Stacking
Kit.

Page 3: Installation Steps
Installation Steps To install the HP Gigabit Stacking Kit, follow these steps: 1. Follow anti-static precautions when handling the Stacking Transceivers and Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Module (if used). When handling the transceivers (and module) and installing them in your switch, follow these procedures to avoid damage from static electricity: •... - Page 4 6. If the transceiver has been installed in a Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Module, reinstall the module into the Switch 2424M and make sure the switch is powered on, or simply power on the switch if you did not remove the module. For the Series 2300 and 2500 Switches, reset or reboot the switch to initialize and activate the transceiver.
- Page 5 Connect the Stacking Cable to the Transceiver Ports To connect the 0.5-meter Stacking Cable to the trans- ceiver: 1. Press the cable connector into the transceiver jack so that the connector snaps securely into place. 2. Repeat for the Stacking Transceiver in the other switch at the other end of the cable.
