Features
Contact your HP-authorized networking products reseller or your HP repre-
sentative for information on availability of other modules, transceivers, and
mini-GBICs. You can also visit the HP networking products Web site at http:/
/www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve to get more information.
Features
Example: The HP Procurve 24-Port 10/100-TX GL Module
The HP Procurve Switch GL Modules have the following features:
 auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network
operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected.
 auto-configuration—a default configuration is applied to the module
when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default
configuration works well for most network installations.
 LEDs that provide information on the link status, network activity,
connection bandwidth, and communication mode (half or full duplex).
 “hot swap modules” operation—you can add a module or replace a
module without having to shut down the switch (changing the module
type in a given slot does require a switch reset).
 “hot swap transceivers” operation—you can add, replace, or change the
type of any of the transceivers and mini-GBICs that you use in the Gigabit
Transceiver GL Module and mini-GBIC GL Module, without having to first
remove the module, and without having to shut down the switch.

Features
 the ports on the 10/100-TX GL Module have the HP Auto-MDIX feature,
and the ports on the 100/1000-T GL Module have the IEEE 802.3ab Auto
MDI/MDI-X feature. These features operate the same way and allow you
to use either “straight-through” or “crossover” twisted-pair cables for all
the twisted-pair network connections. Please see the note on “Automatic
Cable Sensing” on page 11.
 standards adherence:
• the 10/100-TX GL Module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3
10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards
• the 100/1000-T GL Module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab
1000Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards
• the ports on the transceivers that are installed in the Gigabit Trans-
ceiver GL Module are compatible with their appropriate standards.
See the Installation Guide the comes with the transceivers.
• the ports on the Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs that are
installed in the mini-GBIC GL Module are compatible with the IEEE
802.3z Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX standards respectively.

Installing the GL Modules
Installing the GL Modules
Overview
You can install any of the GL modules into any of the HP Procurve switches
that have a compatible module slot. As of this printing, those are the HP
Procurve Series 4100GL Switches:
 4108GL (p/n J4865A)
 4108GL Bundle (p/n J4861A)
 4104GL (p/n J4887A)
 4148GL (p/n J4888A) -- a 4104GL bundle
You can install the modules into the switch either with the switch powered on
or off. The following procedures assume the switch is powered on.
1. Install the modules in a switch slot (see page 5).
If you have installed any modules into slots that were previously occupied
by a different type module, the status LED for the slot will be flashing
indicating that you must reset the switch (see page 15).
2. If you are using the Gigabit Transceiver GL Module or the mini-GBIC GL
Module, you can install the transceivers or mini-GBICs in the appropriate
module before or after installing that module into the switch.
Note The HP Procurve transceivers and mini-GBICs can be “hot swapped”. That is,
they can be installed or removed after the GL Module is installed in the switch
and receiving power.
Please see the Installation Guide that came with the transceivers for more
information on installing the transceivers. The information for using the
mini-GBICs is included in this manual (see page 7).
3. Verify that the modules are installed correctly (see page 8).
4. Connect the network cabling (see page 9).
5. Optionally, customize the configuration for the modules’ ports (unless the
default port configuration is satisfactory for your network application -
see page 13).
Note If necessary, you can “hot-swap” one module for another; that is, replace one
module with another while the switch is still powered on, without interrupting
the operation of the rest of the switch ports. For more information, see page 14.
