Installing the GL Modules
Connecting the Network Cables
Connect the appropriate network cables to the module's ports as shown in
the table below and on the next two pages. More detailed cable information
is included under “Cables” on page 22.
The cabling that you would use for the HP Procurve Gigabit Transceivers that
are installed in the Gigabit Transceiver GL Module depends on the types of
transceivers you are using. Please see the manual that came with those
transceivers and the information in this manual on page 22 for information on
the appropriate cabling.
Detailed information on cabling, especially the fiber-optic cabling used with
the Gigabit Transceivers and the mini-GBICs, can be found on the HP Procurve
web site,

Notes:
•
The RJ-45 ports on this module have the HP Auto-MDIX feature. In the module’s default configuration, Auto,
either
a straight-through or crossover cable can be used
to connect the module to any other 100Base-TX or 10Base-T
device. See the Note on page 11.
•
Since the 10Base-T operation is through the 10/100Base-TX ports, if you ever want to upgrade the ports to
100Base-TX, it would be best to cable the ports initially with category 5, or better, cable.
