Installation Notes
Please read these notes before proceeding.
■
The illustrations in this document show the transceivers being used
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.
The HP ProCurve High-Speed Transceivers are supported in the HP
ProCurve networking devices as shown in the following table:
Switch 2424M Gigabit
Stacking Module*
Series 2300 and 2500

■
For all of the networking devices that support the HP ProCurve High-
Speed 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 remove the module from the
switch before installing transceivers into it. Reinstalling the
module into the switch initializes and activates the transceivers.
•
For the Series 2300 and 2500 switches, you can install the trans-
ceivers while the switches are powered on, but you must reset or
reboot the switch after installing the transceiver to initialize and
activate it.
•
For other HP ProCurve network devices, the transceivers may be
fully “hot swappable”—you can install or remove them at any time
without having to remove power from the device and without
having to reset the device.
Please see the installation guide for the networking device for more
information on installing the transceivers.
*
The Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Module (J4130A) provides trans-
ceiver connectivity only for an HP ProCurve Switch 2424M (J4093A).
