C a u t i o n
Static electricity can severely damage the sensitive electronic
components on the HP AdvanceStack Switch 100VG Module. When
handling and installing the module in your switch, follow these
procedures to avoid damage from static electricity:
Handle the module by its edges and avoid touching the components
and the circuitry on the board.
Equalize any static charge difference between your body and the
switch by wearing a wrist strap and attaching it to the switch’s metal
body, or by frequently touching the switch’s metal body while you
are installing the module.
For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure that
slot covers (provided with your Switch 2000) are installed on any unused
ports or transceiver slots.
Installing a Module in an Unused Slot
This procedure assumes that you have already installed the HP 100VG
Transceiver(s) you plan to use in the 100VG module. (The module operates
properly with either one or two HP 100VG transceivers installed.)
1. Slide out the blank LED label strip from the label slot corresponding
to the physical slot in which you will install the module. The LED
label strips have a small loop on the left end. Use your fingernail or a
small implement to catch the loop and slide the label to the left and
out of the label slot. Then insert the LED label strip you received
with the 100VG Module. For example, if you are going to install the
module in slot ‘‘A’’, you would replace the blank LED label strip in
label slot ‘‘A’’ with the new LED label strip for the 100VG Module.
(Refer to Figure 1, on the next page.)
Save the blank LED label strip in case you ever want to remove the
module and its LED label strip.
2. Using a Torx T-10 or slotted screw driver, unscrew the screws in the
cover plate over the slot you want to use, and remove the cover.
Store the cover plate with its screws for possible future use. For
example, to install a module in slot A, see Figure 1.
