To optimize the amount of information that can be displayed for each of the
switch ports, the 5400zl switches use a Mode LED for each port. The operation
of this LED is controlled by the LED Mode Select button on the switch chassis,
and the current selection is indicated by the mode indicator LEDs near the
button. Press the button to change from one mode to the next.

Figure 1-6. Mode LEDs and LED Mode Select Button

■ If the Activity indicator LED is lit, each port Mode LED displays

activity information for the port—it flickers as network traffic is received
and transmitted through the port.

■ If the Full Duplex indicator LED is lit, the port Mode LEDs light for

those ports that are operating in full duplex.

■ If the speed indicator LED is lit, the port LEDs behave as follows to

indicate the connection speed for the port:

• Off = 10 Mbps

• Blinking = 100 Mbps (the blinking behavior is a repeated on/off cycle
once every 0.5 sec.)

• On = 1000 Mbps

■ If the PoE indicator LED is lit, the Link and Mode LEDs indicate PoE

status:
Link LED:

• On = PoE is enabled on this port

• Off = PoE is disabled on this port.

• Fast Blinking = This port is denied PoE power or has an external load
fault.

Mode LED:

• On = PoE power is be supplied on this port

• Off = PoE is not being supplied on this port.

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable
supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connecting a
Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the 5400zl Switches”. The
console is a full-featured interface that can be used to configure, monitor, and
troubleshoot the switch. It can be run on a PC, laptop, or handheld device
emulating a VT-100 terminal, or on a standard VT-100 terminal.

Reset Button

This button will reset the switch when powered on. This action clears any
temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self
test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are
displayed in the switch console interface, the switch web browser interface,
and through SNMP network management applications, such as ProCurve
Manager.

Press the Reset button also after changing the module type that is installed in
any of the switch module slots while the switch is powered on. In this case,
the switch must be reset to initialize the new module type. See “Hot Swapping
Switch Modules” on

page 2-26.

Clear Button

This button is used for the following purposes:

■ Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the

Clear button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may
have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and
need console access.

This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that
if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and
operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure
location, such as a locked wiring closet.

tion changes you may have made through the switch console, the web
browser interface, or SNMP management, and restores the factory default
configuration to the switch. For the specific method to restore the factory
default configuration, see “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration”

The Series 5400zl Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on
when connected to an active AC power source. The 5400zl switches automat
ically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts when using the

J8712A power supply, 200-240 volts when using the J8713A power supply, and

or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Disconnect AC power from the power supply BEFORE installing or
removing the supply. Otherwise, damage to the equipment may result.

Redundant Power Supply

Load-sharing redundant power supplies (HP ProCurve Switch zl 875 W Power
Supply, J8712A, a Switch zl 1500 W Power Supply J8713A, or a Switch zl 1500
W PoE+ Power Supply J9306A) can be installed in the back of the 5400zl
switches. To provide redundancy, each power supply should be connected to
different AC power sources. Then, if one AC power source fails, the switch
will continue to run.

Note The J8712A and J8713A power supplies can be paired within the same switch

or within the Power Supply Shelf. However, the J9306A power supply can only
be paired with another J9306A power supply within the same switch or within
the Power Supply Shelf. The J9306A power supply cannot be used with either
the J8712A or J8713A power supplies.

Caution The switch redundant power supply is hot swappable, but, as indicated by the

caution statement on the power supply, it must be disconnected from AC
power before being installed or removed.



Because the switch can run on a single supply, removing a redundant supply
will not interrupt switch operation. However, on the 5412zl one power supply
will only supply enough power to run the module slots A-F. Slots G-L will not
receive any power unless there are at least two power supplies installed.

When power is restored from a second (or more) power supplies, a system
reload or interface module reset is required to restore operation to slots G-L.
To reset the interface modules, pull each module out about half way and then
reseat them. Do this for each module in slots G-L.
