• When installing the module, equalize any static charge difference between your body and the switch by wearing a grounding wrist strap and attaching it to the switch’s metal body, or by frequently touching the switch’s metal body. The HP Procurve Switch GL Modules have “low-force”, high-performance connectors. - Page 12 The module is fully inserted when the module bulkhead is contacting, or very close to contacting the face of the switch. “Low-force” connector. High insertion force is not needed and should not be used.

RJ-45 connector 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. - Page 16 Installing the GL Modules Module 100/1000-T GL Module twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connector Note: In the module’s default configuration, Auto, either a straight-through or crossover cable can be used to connect the module to either another Gigabit device or to a 100Base-T device. See the Note on Automatic Cable Sensing on page 11.
- Page 17 “crossover” twisted-pair cable for all network connections to these modules. On the 10/100-TX GL Module, this feature is identified as HP Auto-MDIX; on the 100/1000-T GL Module, it is identified as Auto MDI/MDI-X and it is part of the IEEE 802.3ab standard. Both features operate the same.

Page 18: Verifying The Network Connections Are Working
Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that the port(s) connected in the preceding step are operating correctly. Each port on the switch modules has Link and Mode LEDs near it as shown in the next illustration. -
Page 19: Customizing The Port Configuration
Customizing the Port Configuration If the slot in which you installed the module was empty the last time the switch was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was cycled), then the module will use preconfigured default parameter values that will work for most networks. -
Page 20: Replacing Or Removing A Module
Grab the screws and pull the module out from the slot. It may help to brace your hands against the face of the switch and “lever” the module out from the switch slot. -

Resetting the Switch Reasons for Resetting the Switch Generally, you only need to reset the switch when it needs to recognize a change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some circumstances in which you will need to reset the switch are: ■... -
Page 22: Troubleshooting
The primary tools for troubleshooting the switch modules are the LEDs on the front of the switch and on the modules. Refer to “LED Behavior” on page 8. Also, refer to the Installation and Getting Started Guide for more detailed troubleshooting information. - Page 23 Procurve Switch XL module and should not be used in your GL switch. Make sure that you have installed a GL module in the slot. HP Procurve XL modules will fit in the slot, but they are not compatible with your Procurve GL switch.
- Page 24 Procurve mini-GBICs that are supported, as of the printing of this manual, are listed on page 1. Use only the supported HP Procurve mini-GBICs. If it is a supported mini-GBIC, it may have failed. Try removing and reinstalling the mini- GBIC and it will be tested again.
- Page 25 You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the web browser interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches network management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.
