Installing the Switch
3. (Optional) Install a Module
Note The expansion al module is “hot pluggable.” You can insert or remove a module
while the switch is powered on without interrupting the operation of the rest
of the switch ports. If you install or remove an expansion al module with the
switch powered on, a reboot may be required for the module to be recognized.
HP ProCurve recommends inserting or removing modules during scheduled
downtime with the switch powered off.
1. Remove the cover plate and save for future use.
2. Insert the module aligning with the guides in the slot.
3. Once the contacts have engaged, use the captive retaining screws to seat
the module completely by tightening the screws.
4. Verify the module is installed correctly.
Caution For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure a slot
cover is installed on any unused slot.
