  • Page 13: Installing Or Removing The Mini-Gbics

    Installing or Removing the mini-GBICs You can install or remove the mini-GBIC from the mini-GBIC XL Module without having to power off the switch. Use only HP Procurve mini-GBICs. C a u t i o n The HP Procurve mini-GBICs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the transmit port.

On the 10/100-TX XL Module, this feature is identified as HP Auto-MDIX; on the 100/1000-T XL Module, it is identified as Auto MDI/MDI-X and it is part of the IEEE 802.3ab standard. Both features operate the same.
  • Page 18: Verifying The Network Connections Are Working

    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.
  • Page 19: Customizing The Port Configuration

    Customizing the 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.

    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.
  • Page 21: Resetting The Switch

    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 ■...
  • Page 22: Troubleshooting

    One of the primary tools for troubleshooting the switch modules are the LEDs on the front of the switch and on the modules. Refer to “LED Behavior” on page 8 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.
