HP ProCurve Switch
Gigabit Stacking Kit Installation Guide

Introduction

The HP ProCurve Switch Gigabit Stacking Kit (HP J4116A) is used to provide 
a 1000 Mbps stacking connection between any two HP ProCurve switches 
that support the kit. The kit consists of two HP ProCurve Gigabit Stacking 
Transceivers and a 0.5-meter shielded twisted-pair Stacking Cable.

Install each of the transceivers in the kit into either one of the transceiver 
slots of two HP ProCurve Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Modules 
(HP J4130A) or a transceiver slot in any other HP ProCurve switch that 
supports these transceivers. If you are using the Gigabit Stacking Module, 
the module is then installed into the module slot of an HP ProCurve Switch 
2424M that you want to stack. The Gigabit Stacking Transceivers installed 
in modules, or directly in switches, are then connected through the Stacking 
Cable supplied in the kit as shown in the illustration below.

To connect another switch to these two requires another Gigabit Stacking 
Kit.
