HP ProCurve 8116fl, Installation And Getting Started Manual

Introducing the ProCurve Series 8100fl Switch
Front of the Switch
management module updates the L2 tables on the interface modules that
received the traffic thus ensuring system-wide coordination and visibility. In
this way, the interface modules learn how to forward traffic.
Interface Modules and Accessories
Interface modules (narrow, half-height modules) provide network
connectivity options in addition to bridging and routing functionality. The
Switch 8108fl has 8 slots (numbered
1-8 ) for interface modules; the Switch
8116fl has 16 slots (numbered 1-16 ) for interface modules. The following
interface modules are supported in ProCurve 8100fl switches:
■ ProCurve Switch fl 1-Port 10-GbE LR Interface Module (J8733A) *
■ ProCurve Switch fl 10-Port 100/1000-T Interface Module (J8734A)
■ ProCurve Switch fl 10-Port Mini-GBIC Interface Module (J8735A) that
uses and supports the following mini-GBICs:
• ProCurve Gigabit-SX LC mini-GBIC (J4858B)
• ProCurve Gigabit-LX LC mini-GBIC (J4859B)
• ProCurve Gigabit-LH LC mini-GBIC (J4860B)
• ProCurve Gigabit 1000Base-T mini-GBIC (J8177B)
■ ProCurve Switch fl 1-Port X2 10GbE Module (J8736A)**
■ ProCurve Switch fl 2-Port X2 10GbE Module (J8737A) that uses and
supports the following transceivers (as of this printing):
• 10 Gigabit-X2-SC SR Optic transceiver (J8436A)
• 10 Gigabit-X2-SC LR Optic transceiver (J8437A)
• 10 Gigabit-X2-SC ER Optic transceiver (J8438A)
• 10 Gigabit-X2-CX4 copper transceiver (J8440A)
– 10 Gigabit-X2-CX4 Optical Media Converter (J8439A)
* Discontinued in Summer 2006.
** Discontinued in Spring 2007. Replaced by the 2-Port X2 10Gbe Module
(J8737A).
Power Supply
The ProCurve Switch fl Redundant Power Supply (J8732A) operates between
100–240 VAC. Each component (management module, interface module, and
so on) regulates its own power needs. The Switch 8108fl requires one power
supply to operate a fully-populated chassis—an optional second power
supply provides for redundancy. For the Switch 8116fl, two power supplies
are required to operate a fully-populated chassis—an optional third power
supply provides for redundancy.
