HP ProCurve Switch xl Modules
Features
Features and functionality of the ProCurve Switch
Access Controller xl Module (J8162A).
■ Shutdown Module—This is a recessed push button switch that when
pressed and held for more than 2 seconds, initiates an orderly shutdown.
During the shutdown process the Module Ready LED blinks. When the
shutdown is complete enough for a safe module removal, the Module
Ready LED turns off. It is highly recommended to shutdown the module
before resetting or removing the module.
■ Reset Module—This is a recessed push button switch. When this switch
is pressed it causes an immediate reset of the module’s hardware. Pressing
this switch after the shutdown completes will initiate an orderly restart
of the module. It is highly recommended to not press this switch before a
shutdown completes. This could cause unpredictable activity by the
module.
■ Locate Accessible Ports—This button is used to display the associated
downlink and uplink ports. The first press of the button lights the Downlink Client Ports LED on the module and also lights all associated Downlink Client Port LEDs on the other modules in the switch chassis.
Downlink ports connect to devices such as wireless access points. If the
button is not pressed again within a few seconds the LEDs turn off and
the button is reset to the first position. Upon initial installation there are
no Downlink Client Ports. For more information, see the Management
and Configuration Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with
your switch or for the latest version you can also visit the HP networking
products web site http://www.hp.com/go/procurve.
The second press of the button lights the Uplink Network Ports LED on
the module and also lights all associated Uplink Port LEDs on the other
associated modules in the switch chassis. Uplink ports are those typically
used for connecting to the fabric. The ProCurve Switch Access Controller
xl Module will communicate with the ProCurve Access Control Server
740wl (J8154A) or the ProCurve Integrated Access Manager 760wl
(J8155A) through one of these ports.
If the button is not pressed again within a few seconds the LEDs will turn
off and the button is reset to the first position.
A third press of the button turns all accessible port LEDs off and resets
the button to the first position.
• Downlink Client Ports—This LED is associated with the Locate
Accessible Ports button and comes on when the button is pressed
once.
• Uplink Network Ports—This LED is associated with the Locate
Accessible Ports button and comes on when the button is pressed for
the second time.
4
HP ProCurve Switch xl Modules
Features
■ Module Ready LED—This LED comes on after the module completes the
boot up and self test processes and indicates the module is up and running.
■ Mode (selected on switch)—These LEDs operate in conjunction with the
Mode Select button on the switch chassis to show port activity, duplex
mode and link speed. For example, if you have selected “Act” with the
Mode Select button on the chassis, then the two Mode LEDs on the module
(Downlink and Uplink) will blink if there is activity on those ports. For
more information refer to LEDs on Page 1-6 of the HP ProCurve Series
5300xl Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide.
■ Module Activity (10%, 50%, 80%)—These LEDs come on according to the
amount of activity or load the module is experiencing. For example, 10%
indicates that the module has a light load, however, 80% indicates that the
module is nearing work load saturation.
■ Module Fault—This LED (colored orange) comes on when there is an
error condition detected in the module.
Battery Installation Required
The Access Controller xl Module (J8162A) ships without the clock battery
installed. You must insert the battery before installing the module into the
switch. See the following graphic for instructions.
Insert the battery with the lettering

HP ProCurve Switch xl Modules
Features
The ProCurve Switch xl 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 for each port on the link status, network
activity, connection bandwidth (speed), communication mode (half or full
duplex), and presence of specific network error packets on the port
■ “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 mini-GBICs” operation—you can add, replace, or change the
type of any of the mini-GBICs that you use in the mini-GBIC xl Module,
without having to first remove the module, and without having to shut
down the switch
■ the ports on the 10/100-TX and PoE Modules have the HP Auto-MDIX
feature, and the ports on the 100/1000-T xl 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 20.
■ the ports on the PoE xl Module have the same functionality as the 10/100-
TX xl Module and also include PoE functionality when connected to an
HP ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply (J8168A).
■ standards adherence:
• the 10/100-TX xl Module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3
10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards
• the 100/1000-T xl Module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab
1000Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards
• the ports on the SX and LX mini-GBICs that are installed in the
mini-GBIC xl Module are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z
Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX standards respectively.
• the ports on the 100-FX MTRJ xl Module are compatible with the IEEE
802.3u 100-FX standard.
• the PoE xl Module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 802.3u
100Base-TX, and the 802.3af Power over Ethernet standards.
• the 16 port 10/100/1000Base-T xl Module is compatible with 802.3
(10Base-T), 802.3u (100Base-TX), and 802.3ab (1000Base-T) IEEE
standards.

Installing the Modules
Installing the Modules
Overview
Before installing any module, ensure you have loaded the most current
software for that module onto your switch, see page 2 for module software
codes. You can install any of the modules into any of the HP ProCurve xl
Switches that have a compatible module slot. As of this printing, those are the
HP ProCurve Series 5300xl Switches:
■ 5308xl (p/n J4819A)
■ 5372xl (p/n J4848B)
■ 5348xl (p/n J4849B)
■ 5304xl (p/n J4850A)
“Hot Swap”
Notes
The mini-GBICs can be “hot swapped”. That is, they can be installed or
removed after the mini-GBIC xl Module is installed in the switch and the
module is receiving power, see page 10.
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, see page 24. You may have to reconfigure
the switch if the modules are not the same type, check your configuration.
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 (page 8).
If you have installed any modules into slots that were previously occupied
by a different type module, you need to reset the switch (page 25).
2. If you are using the mini-GBIC xl Module, install the mini-GBICs in the
module. You can install the mini-GBICs before or after installing that
module into the switch (page 10).
3. Optionally, connect an HP ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power
Supply to the xl PoE EPS input, using the supplied EPS cable (page 11).
4. Verify the modules are installed correctly (page 17).
5. Connect the network cabling (page 18).
6. Verify the network connections are working properly (page 21).
7. Optionally, customize the configuration for the modules’ ports (unless
the default port configuration is satisfactory for your network application
(page 22)).

Installing the Modules
Installing the Module in an Unused Slot
Installation Precautions:
■ Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the modules. When
handling and installing the modules in your switch, follow these procedures to avoid damage
from static electricity:
• Handle the module by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the components and the
circuitry on the board.
• 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 xl Modules have “low-force”, high-performance connectors.
High insertion forces are not necessary to install the modules, and should not be
used.
■ Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into the slot until the
bulkhead on the module is contacting or is very close to contacting the front face of the switch
chassis.
■ Once the module is fully inserted, make sure you screw in the two retaining screws to secure
the module in place.
■ For safe operation, proper switch cooling, and reduction of electromagnetic emissions, ensure
that a slot cover is installed on any unused module slot. For safety, no more than one slot should
be uncovered at a time when the switch is powered on.
Installation Procedures:
1. Use a Torx T-10 or flat-bladed screwdriver to unscrew the screws in the
cover plate over the slot you want to use, and remove the cover. Store
the cover plate for possible future use.
