Installation Procedures
Installing a Management Module
The management module is the main processing unit of a ProCurve Switch
8100fl and is required for the unit to operate. It contains system-wide bridging
and routing tables, and runs the main control protocols.
In addition to a slot for the primary management module, the chassis also has
a slot for a second (optional) redundant management module:
■ If you are installing only one management module, you can install it in
either slot
MM-A or MM-B .
■ If you are installing two management modules, the primary management
module is the one installed in slot
MM-A . The redundant management
module is the module installed in slot MM-B .

To prevent equipment damage, be sure to follow the installation precautions
on
page 2-17 .
To install a management module (J8731A) :
1. If a cover plate is installed in the management module slot MM-A or
MM-B , remove the cover plate: loosen the captive screws on the ejectors
until the screws pop out, then open the ejectors and pull out the plate.
2. Open the ejectors at the top and bottom of the module, and hold the upper
ejector lever in the unlocked position while you are installing the module
(see step 1 in the illustration opposite).
3. Align the metal plate of the management module with the guides at the
top and the bottom of the slot opening, as shown in the illustration on the
next page.
C a u t i o n
Make sure that the metal plate of the management module, and not the
circuit board, is between the module guides. Check both the upper and
lower guides.
Do not force a module into its slot . If the module does not seem to be
seating correctly, ease it back out and check alignment. Forcing a module
can damage it and the chassis.
4. Slide the management module all the way into the slot, firmly but gently
pressing to make sure that the pins on the back of the management module
are completely seated in the backplane.
5. To lock the module into the slot, close the ejectors until they are vertical.
