This document describes how to install, verify, and troubleshoot the HP
ProCurve Switch Gigabit Stacking Kit.
Installation Notes:
Please read these notes before proceeding.
■
The illustrations in this document show the HP ProCurve Gigabit
Stacking Transceivers being used in a small number of the HP
networking devices that are designed to accept them. But, the
procedures pertain to using these transceivers in all the HP
networking devices that accept them.
As of this printing, the following HP ProCurve switches support the
Gigabit Stacking Kit:
•
HP ProCurve Switch 2424M (by using a Gigabit Stacking Module
with the switch)
•
HP ProCurve Series 2300 Switches (2312 and 2324)
•
HP ProCurve Series 2500 Switches (2512 and 2524)
■
For all of the networking devices that support the Gigabit Stacking
Transceivers, it is
not
necessary to turn off power to the device
before installing the transceiver into it:
•
For the Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Module, you can leave
the power on to the switch, but to avoid possible damage to the
transceiver circuitry, remove the Gigabit Stacking Module from
the switch before installing transceivers into it, or unplug the
power from the Switch 2424M. Please see the
Switch 2424M
Gigabit Stacking Module Installation Guide
(J4130-90001) for
more information. Reinstalling the module into the switch
initializes and activates the transceivers.
•
For the Series 2300 and 2500 Switches, you can install the
transceivers while the switches are powered on, but you must
reset or reboot the switch after installing the transceiver to
initialize and activate it.
