HP Hewlett Packard Network Card J8763A User Manual

Read Me First  
for the ProCurve Switch vl Modules (J8763A, J8764A, J8765A,  
J8766A, J8768A, J8776A, and J9033A)  
Software Requirements:  
For the J8768A and the J9033A modules, software release L.10.20 or later is required on your Switch  
4200vl. For the J8766A module, software release L.11.xx or later is required on your Switch 4200vl. All  
other vl modules covered by this document or referenced above, are supported beginning with the  
original software release, L.10.01. To download this version of software, go to the ProCurve Web site  
at www.procurve.com, then click on Software updates to go to the “ProCurve Networking software  
updates” page. Under Latest software click on Switches to go to the page that has the free download  
for your switch. For installation information refer to the ProCurve Switch vl Modules Installation  
Guide, that came with your vl modules.  
Note  
You can install, exchange, or remove modules after the switch has been powered on. Whenever a module is  
installed during this process, it is initialized and tested for correct operation. During this process, the switch  
Self Test LED is on. If you hot swap another module while the switch is initializing and testing the first module,  
it is possible to cause the first module or the entire switch to be reset.  
Hot Swap Precautionary Procedures. To prevent the modules or switch from being reset when you must hot  
swap multiple modules, follow these simple precautions:  
Do not install/remove any modules from the switch while the switch Self Test LED is lit.  
Before removing or installing any modules, make sure that all network cables are disconnected from  
the module.  
See the “Installing the Modules” section of the ProCurve Switch vl Modules Installation Guide, for more  
information.

Saving the Configuration After Installing or Exchanging a Module  
The following cases automatically result in a change to the running-configuration on your switch:  
If you replace a module with another module of a different type and then reboot the switch  
If you install a module in a slot that has not previously been used (including when you install  
a module and apply power to the switch for the first time)  
If you want to save such changes to permanent memory (startup-configuration), use the write memory  
command in the switch console. This causes the switch to use the new hardware configuration for  
subsequent reboots. (The switch always reboots from the startup-configuration.)  
If you do not save the hardware changes to the startup-configuration, you will be prompted with the  
following message the next time you use the reboot or reload commands:  
Do you want to save the current configuration [y/n]?  
For more information on switch memory, including the startup-config and running-config memories,  
refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch. See “View or Download the  
Manual Set” on page 1.

Mini-GBIC Operation Notes  
Revision “B” mini-GBICs only. This product requires ProCurve revision “B” or later mini-GBICs (product  
number ends with the letter “B” or “C”, for example J4858B, J4859C). These switches do not support revision  
“A” mini-GBICs.  
Use only genuine ProCurve mini-GBICs. Non-ProCurve mini-GBICs are not supported. Use of genuine  
productsensuresthatyour networkmaintains optimalperformanceandreliability.Shouldyou requireadditional  
ProCurve mini-GBICs, please contact a ProCurve sales representative or an authorized reseller.  
Hot Swapping mini-GBICs. Themini-GBICsthatyoucaninstallinyourProCurveswitchormini-GBICModule  
can be “hot swapped”—removed and installed after the module is installed in the switch and receiving power.  
You should disconnect the network cables from the mini-GBICs before hot swapping them.  
When you replace a mini-GBIC with another mini-GBIC of a different type and then execute the write memory  
command in the switch console, the switch configures the port on the new mini-GBIC with the default mode  
(speed and duplex) settings used for the new mini-GBIC type. The default mode for the mini-GBICs is Auto. Note  
thattheswitchretainsotherport-specificconfigurationsettings, such astrunking,SpanningTreeProtocol(STP),  
and VLAN values that were configured for the previous mini-GBIC.  
Connecting the mini-GBICs to Devices with Fixed Configurations. For some older network devices,  
including some older ProCurve devices, the default for Gigabit ports is a fixed configuration, for example 1000  
Mbps/Full Duplex, or is otherwise different from these default configurations for the mini-GBICs, which is Auto.  
As a result, those devices may not connect properly to your mini-GBIC port; you will not get a link. Because of  
these default configuration and full-duplex considerations, for best operation, you should make sure that the  
devices connected to the mini-GBIC ports are also configured to Auto. At a minimum, make sure the  
configurations match.
