Overview

You can install a 10Base-FL Module into any of the Switch 2000’s six module
slots. The following steps provide an overview. The actual installation
procedure begins on page 2.

1. Determine whether your Switch 2000 is running the necessary operating
system (OS) version and, if necessary, download a new version (page 2).

2. Install the 10Base-FL Module in a Switch 2000 slot (page 6).

3. Customize the configuration for the module’s ports (unless the default
port configuration is satisfactory for your network application - see page

11).

Overview

4. Reboot the switch (page 12).

If necessary, you can “hot-swap” one 10Base-FL module for another; that is,
replace one module with another of the same type without rebooting the
switch (page 13). However, if you replace one module type with a different
module type (such as replacing a 100VG Module with a 10Base-FL Module),
you must reboot the Switch 2000 after making the replacement.

Note You can interchange a 10Base-T Ethernet Module and a 10Base-FL Module

without rebooting the Switch 2000.

Downloading Software

Downloading Software

Use this procedure in either of the following cases:

■ You are installing a 10Base-FL Module in your Switch 2000 for the first

time.

■ A 10Base-FL Module is already installed in the Switch 2000 and you now

want to upgrade the operating system (OS) to a newer version.

Do You Need To Download a New OS Version? The 10Base-FL Module
requires OS version A.02.01 or later to operate in the Switch 2000. To deter­mine which OS version is running in the switch, go to the Main Menu in the
Switch 2000 Console Interface and do the following:

1. Select Statistics to display the Statistics screen.

2. Select Switch Information to display the Switch Information screen.

“OS Version”

Figure 1. Example of the Switch Information Screen

2

blue_2b.fm5 Page 3 Monday, September 23, 1996 8:03 AM

3. Check the “OS Version” line in the Switch Information screen.

• If the version number is A.02.01 or later, the Switch 2000 can support

the 10Base-FL Module. In this case, go to “Installing the 10Base-FL
Module in an Unused Slot” on page 6.

• If the version number is earlier than A.02.01, download a new OS

before installing the 10Base-FL Module. In this case, continue with
the instructions in this section before you install the module.

Software Sources and Content

First-Time 10Base-FL Module Installation: Generally, if you are installing
the 10Base-FL Module in your Switch 2000 for the first time, use the software
provided on the disk you received with the module.

Downloading Software

Upgrading a Previous 10Base-FL Module Installation: If you are
upgrading the software for an existing 10Base-FL Module installation, you can
use software that is either provided on a current disk or obtained in a
compressed, self-extracting file named j3100a.exe that you can download
from Hewlett-Packard’s World Wide Web or other electronic sources. (Refer
to “HP Customer Support Services” on the card included in the front of this
manual.)

Both the disk and the self-extracting (j3100a.exe) file contain one or more
of the following files:

■ The switch update utility, named update.exe, and a readme.txt file

containing instructions on how to use the update utility, plus other
information. (This is a PC-based utility that you can run from DOS or from
a DOS window to download the switch software from a PC directory. This
utility requires an RS-232 serial connection to the Switch 2000.)

■ The proprietary MIB file for the Switch 2000.

■ Two OS files:

filename.swi

filename.fdd

where filename will be the same for both files; for example:

A_02_01.swi OS for the Switch 2000 chassis and all

Switch 2000 modules that operate with
version A.02.01 or earlier software

A_02_01.fdd OS for the FDDI Module. (Necessary if

an FDDI Module is installed.)

3

blue_2b.fm5 Page 4 Monday, September 23, 1996 8:03 AM

Downloading Software

Observe the following when downloading the OS software to the
Switch 2000:

– filename.swi and filename.fdd must be in the same direc-

tory.

– filename must be the same for both files (that is, the files must

be the .swi and .fdd file pair from the disk or from the self-
extracting j3100a.exe file.

For the above reasons, avoid placing the filename.swi and
filename.fdd in separate directories, and avoid renaming them.

Note The latest version of the Switch 2000 OS supports all Switch 2000 Modules

currently available. If you are installing more than one type of Switch 2000
module and/or if it is necessary to download a new version of the Switch 2000
OS, use the latest version available. To support the 10Base-FL Module, use OS
version A.02.01 or later. The Switch 2000 Ethernet and 100VG Modules operate
with any version of Switch 2000 OS software. For more on software compat­ibility, see the readme.txt file included on the disk and in the compressed,
self-extracting j3100a.exe file from the electronic sources mentioned
above.

How To Download the OS

Use this procedure if you need to download a new OS version to your Switch

2000. The procedure describes how to use a personal computer (PC) to

download the OS. (If you are using a UNIX workstation, refer to the Note on.)
The files used in this procedure are described under “Software Sources and
Content” on page 3.

1. Do one of the following:

• If the source of your OS files is the disk shipped with the

10Base-FL Module, copy the files from the disk into the DOS directory
you will use for downloading to the switch. Then go to on the next
page.

• If the source of your OS files is the self-extracting j3100a.exe file

from an electronic source (see “Software Sources and Content” on
page 3):

i. Copy the j3100a.exe file into the DOS directory you will use

for downloading to the switch.

ii. Execute the file to decompress and extract its contents.

4

blue_2b.fm5 Page 5 Monday, September 23, 1996 8:03 AM

2. Download the software upgrade by using one of the following methods:

• TFTP download using a TFTP server and the Download OS

option in the Switch 2000 console interface: This is the recom-

mended download method if you have TFTP server access to the
Switch 2000. Refer to the instructions in appendix A, “Downloading
an Operating System”, in the Console User’s Guide you received with

your Switch 2000. For this option, use the form

filename.swi

for the Remote File Name parameter. (The filename.fdd file
will automatically be used if an FDDI Module is already installed in
the Switch 2000.)

• Switch update utility: Refer to the instructions in the

readme.txt file provided with the update utility.

Downloading Software

3. If you are performing a first-time installation of a 10Base-FL Module, go
on to “Installing the Module in an Unused Slot” on.

Note To perform a TFTP download from a UNIX system, store the uncompressed

filename.swi and filename.fdd in the UNIX TFTP directory, then
perform the TFTP download as described in Step 2, above. If you do not have
access to a DOS system in order to execute the j3100a.exe file, use the
World Wide Web or BBS services described on the card at the front of this
manual to download uncompressed versions of filename.swi and
filename.fdd. If your TFTP server is a UNIX system, ensure that the case
(upper or lower) that you specify for the filename in the Switch 2000 Down­load OS screen is the same case as the OS filename in the TFTP server.

Switch-to-Switch Download

If you have two or more Switch 2000s networked together, you can download
the OS software from one switch to another by using the Download OS feature
in the Switch 2000 console interface. To do so:

1. Go to the Download OS screen in the switch to receive the download.

2. Enter the IP or IPX address of the remote switch containing the OS you
want to download.

3. Enter “OS” for the Remote File Name.

4. Execute the download.

Installing the 10Base-FL Module in an Unused Slot

For more information on the Download OS feature, refer to appendix A,
“Downloading an Operating System” in the Console User’s Guide you received
with your Switch 2000.

Installing the 10Base-FL Module in an
Unused Slot

Caution Static electricity can severely damage the sensitive electronic components on

the HP AdvanceStack Switch 10Base-FL module. When handling and installing
the module in your switch, follow these procedures to avoid damage from
static electricity:

■ Handle the module by its edges and avoid touching the components and

the circuitry on the board.

■ 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 continually touching the switch’s metal body while you are
installing the module.

For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure that
a slot cover is installed on any unused port or transceiver slot.

1. Slide out the blank LED label strip from the label slot corresponding to
the physical slot in which you will install the module. The LED label strips
have a small loop on the left end. Use your fingernail or a small implement
to catch the loop and slide the label to the left and out of the label slot.
Then insert the LED label strip you received with the 10Base-FL Module.
For example, if you are going to install the module in slot “A”, you would
replace the blank LED label strip in label slot “A” with the new LED label
strip for the 10Base-FL Module. (Refer to figure 2.)

Save the blank LED label strip in case you ever want to remove the module
and its LED label strip.

2. Using a Torx T-10 or slotted screw driver, unscrew the screws in the cover
plate over the slot you want to use, and remove the cover. Store the cover
plate with its screws for possible future use. For example, to install a
module in slot A, see figure 2.

4. Make sure the module’s extractor handles are in the open position
(rotated away from the face plate), then push the module into the slot until
you feel the extractor handles contact the switch chassis. (The handles
will move slightly upwards when they contact the chassis.)

5. Seat the module in the slot by simultaneously pushing in on both extractor
handles until they are firmly seated against the front panel of the module
(in the closed position).

Note: If the Fault LED for the module slot continues flashing
rapidly, the module may not be completely seated in the slot.

Ensure that the handles on the module are fully in the “closed”
position and the screws in the handles are tightened.

If the module slot Fault LED continues flashing, unscrew the
screws, open the handles, remove the module, and re-install it.
If the Fault LED continues flashing, remove the module and
contact your HP-authorized LAN dealer or HP networking
support representative.

If a module is not installed properly, and the module slot Fault LED
continues rapid flashing, other modules in the switch will
continue to forward packets normally, but other switch functions
will be suspended until the module is removed or properly
installed.

9. Customize the port configuration, if necessary. (See “Customizing the
Port Configuration”, below.)

10. Reboot the switch, since this is a new module being installed. (See
“Rebooting the Switch” on page 12 for more information on when the
switch must be rebooted.)

Customizing the Port Configuration

If the slot in which you installed the 10Base-FL 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.

The default 10Base-FL port configuration is:

■ Enabled: Yes

■ Mode: Half Duplex

■ Trunk (port trunking): None

■ Broadcast Limit: 0

If necessary, configure the port(s) in the module by using the switch console
interface. (See the Console User’s Guide shipped with the Switch 2000, and
the online Help provided in the console interface itself.)

If the default port configuration listed above is acceptable for your network,
then skip this process.

11

Rebooting the Switch

You can reboot the switch either by using the Reboot Switch command in the
console Main menu or by pressing the recessed Reset button located to the
right of the Power LED.

Reset Button

Figure 9. Location of the Reset Button

Generally, you only need to reboot the switch when it needs to recognize a
change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some
circumstances in which you will need to reboot the switch are:

■ Adding new modules or moving modules to unused slots (page 6)

■ Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a different

type of module—for example, installing a 10Base-FL Module in a slot that
was previously used for a 100VG Module—(page 13)

■ Changing certain switch configuration parameters through the console

interface. (In this case, the console provides messages indicating when
the switch must be rebooted for the configuration change to be activated.)

You do not need to reboot the switch when:

■ Replacing a module with the same type of module.

■ Adding or changing a recessed transceiver in a switch module designed

to accept such transceivers. (The module must be removed from the
Switch 2000 for this procedure. Note that the 10Base-FL Module is not
designed for adding or changing transceivers.)

blue_2b.fm5 Page 13 Monday, September 23, 1996 8:03 AM

Removing or Replacing a Module

Use this section to do either of the following:

■ Replace one module with another

■ Remove a module without replacing it

Removing or Replacing a Module

Loosen These Two Screws

Figure 10. Removing the Module from the Slot

1. Remove any network cables from the ports on the module.

2. Loosen the screws in the extractor handles of the module you want to
remove from the switch. (Refer to figure 10, above.)

3. Simultaneously pull both extractor handles toward you until the module
releases from the slot and the Fault and status LEDs for that slot are off.

Note During removal (or installation) the module and switch connectors will

momentarily be only partially connected. The fault LED for the slot flashes
rapidly to indicate this state until the module is removed or properly installed.
(The other modules in the switch will continue to forward packets normally,
but other switch functions will be suspended until the module is removed or
properly installed.)

4. Slide the module out of the slot.

13

blue_2b.fm5 Page 14 Monday, September 23, 1996 8:03 AM

Removing or Replacing a Module

5. Do one of the following:

• If you will be installing another 10Base-FL Module in the slot, go to

“Installing the 10Base-FL Module in an Unused Slot” on page 6 and
begin with step 3. To install another module type, refer to the manual
you received with that module.

Make sure that you install the proper LED strip for the new module
you are installing, as described in step 1 on page 6. If you do not

install the correct LED strip for the module you have installed, the
LED display will be incorrect for that module.

• If you will not install another module in the slot (that is, leave it

empty), then re-attach a slot cover plate over the empty slot opening,
and replace the LED strip for that slot with a blank LED strip.

6. Reboot the switch (as described under “Rebooting the Switch” on page

12) if you are doing either of the following:

• You are removing a module and leaving the module slot empty

• You are replacing one type of module with another type of module in

the same slot (for example, replacing a 100VG Module with a
10Base-FL Module)

(If you are exchanging one 10Base-FL Module with another one (or with
an Ethernet Module) in the same slot, it is not necessary to reboot the
switch. The current configuration for ports in that slot will apply to either
module.)

Caution For proper cooling and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure that

a slot cover is installed on any unused port or transceiver slot.
