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 Series 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 2-28.

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.

Back of the Switch

Introducing the ProCurve
Series 5400zl Switches

Power Connector
The Series 5400zl Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on
when connected to an active AC power source. The Series 5400zl Switches
automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts when
using the J8712A power supply, and 200-240 volts only when using the J8713A
power supply, and either 50 or 60 Hz.There are no voltage range settings
required.

Redundant Power Supply
Load-sharing redundant power supplies (ProCurve Switch zl 875 W Power
Supply, J8712A or a ProCurve Switch zl 1500 W Power Supply J8713A) can be
installed in the back of the Series 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.

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.

CAUTION:

. Refer to the installation guide for proper power cord selection
.Disconnect AC power from the power supply BEFORE installing or

removing the supply. Otherwise, damage to the. equipment may result.

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. For
more information regarding power see the:

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches
Installation Procedures

Installation Procedures
Summary
Follow these easy steps to install your switch. The rest of this chapter provides
details on these steps.
Prepare the installation site (page 2-7). Make sure the physical
environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly
prepared including having the correct network cabling ready to connect
to the switch, and having a good location for the switch. See page 2-6 for
some installation precautions.

2.

Install switch modules (page 2-9). The Series 5400zl Switches have six
or 12 universal slots for installing any of the ProCurve Switch zl modules.
The Switch 5406zl-48G has two 24-port 10/1001000-T zl Modules
preinstalled and the 5412zl-96G has four 24-port 10/1001000-T zl Modules
preinstalled. Depending on where you will install your Series 5400zl
Switch, it may be easier to install the modules first. The modules are “hot
swappable” though, so they can also be installed and removed after the
switch is powered on.

Note

Make sure you use only ProCurve Switch zl Modules in your Series 5400zl
Switches.
3.

Install power supplies (page 2-12). The Series 5406zl Switches supports
up to two power supplies. It may be easier to install the power supplies
before mounting the switch. The switch must have at least one power
supply to operate.

4.

Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-15). This is a simple process
of plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs
on the switch’s front panel and on the modules show correct operation.
It may be easier to verify if the switch passes self test before mounting
the switch.

5.

Mount the switch (page 2-17). The Series 5400zl Switches can be
mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a
horizontal surface. An optional Rail Mounting Kit (5070-0145) is available
for mounting Series 5400zl Switches in a cabinet suitable for shipping. See
the installation details for more information.

6.

Install the Grounding Wire (page 2-21). If a grounding wire is to be
attached to the switch chassis, the grounding lug must be removed and a
wire crimped to it and the grounding lug must be reinstalled.

7.

Connect the switch to a power source (page 2-21). Once the switch
is mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source.

8.

Connect a Power Supply Shelf (optional—page 2-22). You may wish
to use a Power Supply Shelf with your switch. To do so you must connect
the external power supply using the EPS cables supplied with the Power
Supply Shelf.

9.

Connect the network devices (page 2-25). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect other switches, hubs, routers, computers,
servers, printers, and other network devices to the switch ports. For more
information, see “Connect the Network Devices” on page 2-25.
The 10/100/1000-T ports on the zl Modules comply with IEEE 802.3x
standard which includes the Auto MDI/MDI-X feature. This feature
allows you to use straight-through twisted-pair cable for all of your
twisted-pair network connections.

10. Connect a console to the switch (optional—page 2-26). You may wish
to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP
address so it can be managed using a web browser or from an SNMP
network management station. Configuration changes can be made easily
through the switch’s console interface.
At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you
need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches
Installation Procedures

Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions when installing your Series 5400zl Switch:

WARNING

■

Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low
as possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it
from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Ensure a cover plate is installed on any empty switch power
supply or module slot. A cover plate is required for safe
operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling. Never have
more than one power supply or module slot uncovered at a
time while the switch is powered on.

■

To avoid energy and mechanical hazards, never allow any part
of your body, jewelry, tool, or other foreign object to enter any
module or power supply slots.

■

This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully
power down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply
cables from the unit.

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches
Installation Procedures

Installation Precautions (continued)

Installing the Series 5400zl
Switches

Cautions

■

If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, use only an HP 10000 series rack
and a rail mounting kit (5070-0145) for each switch.

■

Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the
power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.

■

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the switch and power supply, be sure the cord is adequately sized
for the switch’s current requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power
cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the
power cord can be used safely with the switch and power supply.

■

When installing the switch, note that the AC outlet should be near the
switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be
powered off.

■

Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and overcurrent protection. Each power supply should be connected to a dedicated branch circuit to prevent tripping building circuit breakers. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together
the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the
switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The
maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC
power connectors.

■

Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F)1.

■

Allow three to four inches of space around the sides and back of the
switch to make sure the air flow for the switch is not restricted.

1

If you are installing any of the X2 transceivers the operating ambient temperature
should not exceed 40°C (104°F). See transceiver specifications in Appendix A
(page A-1).

2. Install Switch Modules
Install switch modules into the slots as shown in the illustration below. For
installation details, see the instructions in the manual that comes with the
module.

Caution

Make sure you install only ProCurve Switch zl Modules.
Avoid any electrostatic discharge problems by handling the modules only by
their bulkheads.

Module
Installation
Notes

■

Any of the supported Switch zl Modules can be installed in any of the slots.

■

The modules can be “hot swapped”, installed after the switch is already
powered on, and normally will be immediately operational. But, if you are
replacing a module with a different type than what was previously
installed in the slot, the switch must be rebooted after the module is
installed. See “Hot Swapping the Switch Module” on page 2-28.

■

Ensure you fully insert the modules. That is, press the module into
the slot using the extractor handles, until the bulkhead on the module is
contacting the front face of the switch chassis.

■

Once the module is fully inserted, screw in the two retaining screws to
secure the module in place. The screws should be tightened until they are
secure, but not overtightened.

■

If you do not use one or more of the slots, ensure the slot cover plate is
still attached over the slot for safe operation and proper switch cooling.
For safety, you should not have more than one module slot uncovered at
a time.

■

Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are
the same for the 12-slot chassis.

3. (Optional) Install Another Power Supply
Caution

The Series 5400zl switches are designed to provide continuously operating
PoE power in the event of a single power supply failure with only a loss of
PoE power to lower priority ports.
If more than one power supply fails while the switch is at or near maximum
operating power (that is: the sum total of all PoE supply capacity minus the
largest supply, see chapter 2 and 4 of the ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE)
for zl and yl Products), loss of all PoE power may result.

Installing the Series 5400zl
Switches

To return PoE power to the ports, without causing the switch to reboot, when
there are two or more power supplies still supplying 12V power, unplug the
power cord for 5 seconds and replug it for each power supply one at a time.
Another, load-sharing redundant power supply (either a ProCurve Switch zl
875 W Power Supply (J8712A), or a ProCurve Switch zl 1500 W Power Supply
(J8713A) can be installed in the back of the switch. The 5406zl can hold up to
two power supplies and the 5412zl can hold up to four power supplies.
The 875 W Power Supply (J8712A) can supply up to 273 watts for PoE power.
The 1500 W Power Supply (J8713A) can supply up to 900 watts at 220 volts for
PoE power.
To prevent overloading of the building circuits breakers, the second power
supply must be connected to a different AC power source from the other
supply. This also helps with redundancy, if one AC power source fails, the
switch will continue to run.
Install the second power supply into power slot number 2 as shown in Figure
2-3. Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are
the same for the 12-slot chassis.
The slot cover can be removed with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver. Retain the slot cover for future use.

2-12

Installing the Series 5400zl Switches
Installation Procedures

Caution

The switch power supplies are hot swappable; they can be installed while the
switch is receiving power from the supply in the other slot. But, as indicated
by the caution statement on the power supply, the supply must not be
connected to AC power before being installed or removed.

CAUTION:

. Refer to the installation guide for proper power cord selection
.Disconnect AC power from the power supply BEFORE installing or

removing the supply. Otherwise, damage to the. equipment may result.

For installation details, see the instructions in the manual that comes with the
power supply.

Insert the power supply into the
opening, then slide it all the way in
until it connects to the switch. The
power supply face plate will be
flush with the back face of the
switch.

4. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test
After you have installed any modules and the optional second power supply,
but before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify
it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying it passes
its self test.
If you have installed a second power supply, repeat these procedures with the
second power supply to verify it works correctly also.
1.

Connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector
on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical
outlet.

Note

The Series 5400zl Switches do not have a power switch. They are powered on
when the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with
the switch, please see the “Installation Precautions” on page 2-6.
2.

Check the LEDs on the switch and on each of the switch modules. The
LED behavior is described on the next page.
If the LED display is different than what is described, especially if the
Fault LED stays on for more than approximately 120 seconds or it starts
blinking, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting” for diagnostic help.

When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. The entire
download, initialization, and self test process can take up to 2 minutes for a
fully loaded chassis, depending on the number and type of modules installed
in the switch.

LED Behavior:
During the self test:
■

Initially, Power, Fault, Locator, and all the switch chassis LEDs are on. Then,
after approximately 30 seconds, all the module LEDs go on as the modules
receive power and code is downloaded to them, the Fault LED goes off,
and the chassis LEDs turn orange and then go off except Test, Fan, and
Power, which turn green.

■

When the download of code to the modules is completed, the module
LEDs go off. You may see each port LED go on briefly, in sequence, as the
port is tested.

■

For the duration of the self test, the Test LED stays on.

When the test completes successfully:

■

The Power LED stays on, and the Status LEDs on the switch chassis stay
on for the devices installed: one for each switch module installed, one for
each power supply installed, and one for all the fans.

■

The Fault, Locator, and Test LEDs are off.

■

The port LEDs on the switch modules go into their normal operational
mode:

•

If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link LEDs
stay on and the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode selected.
In the default mode (Activity), the Mode LEDs should flicker showing
network activity on the port.
If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the LEDs
will stay off.

5.Mount the Switch

Rack or Cabinet Mounting
The Series 5400zl Switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard
19-inch telco rack or in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet. If you
are installing the switch in an equipment cabinet, read the following “Equipment Cabinet Note” on page 2-17.

Equipment
Cabinet
Note

If you are installing the switch in an equipment cabinet, in place of the
12-24 screws supplied with the switch, use the clips and screws that came with
the cabinet. Plan which four holes you will be using in the cabinet and install
all four clips and partially install the two bottom screws, as described in step
2 on the previous page, before proceeding to step 3.

WARNING

For safe operation, please read the “Installation Precautions” on page
2-5 and page 2-6 before mounting the switch.
1.

Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting
brackets to the switch with the included 8-mm M4 screws.
For the Switch 5406zl, each bracket is attached with four screws as shown
in the following illustration.
Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are
the same for the 12-slot chassis.

7. Connect the Switch to a Power Source
1.

Plug the included power cord into the switch’s power connector and into
a nearby properly grounded AC power source.
If a redundant power source is available, it is desirable to power one
switch power supply from the regular AC source, and the other power
supply from the redundant AC source. This will provide redundancy in AC
power to the switch, as long as the switch PoE power usage falls within
the capability of one power supply. If both power supplies are plugged
into a common AC source, there is still power supply redundancy, that is,
protection against power supply failure, but if the AC source fails, the
switch will lose all power.

2.

Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED Behavior” on page 2-16.

Installing the Series 5400zl
Switches

The ProCurve Switch zl Power Supply Shelf, (J8714A), hereafter referred to
as the EPS, is an accessory product for the Series 5400zl switches. The EPS
provides External Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power for up to two 5400zl
switch products.
The EPS can supply up to 1800 watts (depending upon which power supplies
are installed) of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply
should fail, or as additional PoE power to be made available to the switch’s
PoE ports. For further information regarding the EPS PoE capabilities, see
the ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products Planning
and Implementation Guide and the ProCurve Power Supply Shelf
Installation and Getting Started Guide, which are on the ProCurve Web site
at www.procurve.com. See page 5-1 for details.
The EPS is an unmanaged power supply that only provides information by
way of LEDs.

EPS Operation
The EPS has a mechanism for detecting that it is connected to a valid switch
with an EPS cable. When the EPS is connected to a powered switch it will
provide additional PoE power to the switch within 2 seconds.

Caution

2-22

Disconnecting the EPS (PoE power) cable with power flowing is not
supported, and could cause loss of PoE power to all network devices
connected to the switch. The Power Supply Shelf must be powered down
before disconnecting the EPS (PoE power) cable, if power is flowing. Only
the power supply to be disconnected must be powered down. The EPS cable
may be connected at any time.

The Power Supply Shelf has two EPS Ports. The EPS can provide a maximum
of up to 900 watts of PoE power to each of the two EPS ports depending on
which power supply is used. It is important to understand the PoE power
requirements of the 5400zl Series switches because if the PoE power is not
planned and implemented correctly the end devices connected to the switch
ports may not receive power if an internal switch PoE power supply should
fail. For further information regarding the Power Supply Shelf PoE
capabilities, see the ProCurve Power over Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl
Products Planning and Implementation Guide and the ProCurve Power

Installation Procedures

9. Connect the Network Devices
The type of network connections you will need to use depends on the types
of switch modules you have installed in your Series 5400zl Switch. See the
documentation accompanying the modules for cabling configurations and
procedures for those modules.
In general for all the modules, when a network cable from an active network
device is connected to the switch, the Link LED for the switch port should go
on. If the Link LED does not go on, use the table below to help solve the
problem, and see the module documentation for troubleshooting procedures.
Diagnostic Tip

connected
• Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating correctly.
• Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection:
– for all twisted-pair connections, the RJ-45 connectors on the Series 5400zl Switches allow you
to use either straight-through cable or crossover cable when the port is in the “Auto”
configuration.
– for fiber-optic connections, verify the transmit port on the switch is connected to
the receive port on the connected device, and the switch receive port is connected to
the transmit port on the connected device.
See appendix B, “Switch Ports and Network Cables” for information on cables.
• Verify the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change.
• Verify the connection parameters in the configurations of the switch port and the connected
device match. Mismatched configurations are a frequent cause of connection problems.
You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on the switch, use the
web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager network management software to determine the
state and configuration of the port and re-enable the port if necessary.
• If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different cable.

Installation Procedures

10. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch

Installing the Series 5400zl
Switches

The Series 5400zl Switches have a full-featured, easy to use console interface
for performing the following tasks:
■

Monitor switch and port status and observe network activity counters

■

Modify the switch’s configuration

■

Read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting

■

Download new software to the switch

■

Add passwords and other security features to control access to the switch
from the console, web browser interface, and network management
stations

The console can be accessed through these methods:
■

Out-of-band: Connect a PC or VT-100 terminal, to be used as a console,
directly to the switch using the serial cable that comes with the Series
5400zl Switches. If the PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, you
can use a readily available 9-pin to 25-pin serial cable, or attach a 9-to-25
pin straight-through adapter to the PC end of the cable.

■

In-Band: Access the console using telnet from a PC or UNIX station on
the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires that
you first configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask by using
either out-of-band console access or through DHCP/Bootp.

The Series 5400zl Switches can simultaneously support one out-of-band
console session through the Console Port and one in-band telnet session.

Terminal Configuration
To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a
VT-100 or DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal, or use a VT-100 terminal and configure
it to operate with these settings:
■

any baud rate from 2400 to 115200 (the switch automatically senses the
speed)

■

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to None

■

for Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function,
Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option

■

for the Hilgrave HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys”
option for the “Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys act as” parameter

If you want to operate the console using a different configuration, ensure you
change the settings on both the terminal and on the switch. Change the switch
settings first, then change the terminal settings, and reestablish the console
session.

Hot Swapping Switch Modules

Hot Swapping Switch Modules
The switch modules can be “hot swapped” (except for the Management
Module, it is not hot swappable), that is installed or replaced while the switch
is powered on (See Module Installation Notes on page 2-9). The procedures
differ slightly, though between adding new modules to an empty slot or
replacing modules with the same type, and exchanging the module with a
different type.

Installing the Series 5400zl
Switches

Adding or Replacing Modules
If a module has to be replaced with one of the same type, or you are expanding
the switch capability by adding a module in a slot where one was not previously installed (since the last switch reboot), the replaced or new module is
immediately operational; there is no interruption to the switch operation.

Changing the Module Type
If you exchange a module with a different type of module though, for example
a 10/100/1000-T zl Module is installed in place of a 4 port 10G X2 Module that
was in the slot, the switch must be rebooted after the new module is installed
so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module
type.
You can reboot the switch by any of the following methods:
■

Pressing the Reset button on the front of the switch.

■

Unplugging and plugging in the power cord (power cycle). If two power
supplies are installed, both power cords would have to be unplugged.

■

Issuing the boot command from the switch console CLI, or selecting the
boot Switch option from the switch console menu, the web browser
interface, or ProCurve Manager.

Until the switch is rebooted, the module will not operate and the Module
Status LED for the affected slot will continue to flash.

When your network expands and the users need to access resources beyond
the edge of the local network, the Series 5400zl Switches are excellent
platforms for that expansion. With the flexibility of 6 slots, the high port count
10/100/1000-T zl Modules for local connections, and the availability of Gigabit
speeds on both copper and fiber cables, the Series 5400zl Switches can provide
that access beyond the edge for a high number of network users.
In the above illustration, two Switch 5406zls are connected to a ProCurve
Routing Switch 9308, which can serve as a campus backbone or core switch.
The 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connections between the two Switch 5406zls and
the Routing Switch 9308 is by way of Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs installed in
the mini-GBIC port on the 20 port Gig-T plus 4 mini-GBIC zl Module in the
Switch 5406zls and Gigabit-LX ports on the Routing Switch 9308. With the
Gigabit-LX connections, the distance between the Switch 5406zls and the
Routing Switch 9308 can be up to ten kilometers.
The connections are trunked, through a configuration change on the Switch
5406zl, to provide redundancy and load sharing for higher bandwidth.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration
This chapter is a guide for using the console Switch Setup screen to quickly
assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask to the switch, set a
Manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.
For more information on using the switch console and the other switch
management interfaces: the web browser interface and the SNMP management tool, ProCurve Manager, please see the Management and Configuration
Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Recommended Minimal Configuration

Many other features can be configured through the switch’s console interface,
to optimize the switch’s performance, to enhance your control of the network
traffic, and to improve network security. Once an IP address has been configured on the switch, these features can be accessed more conveniently through
a remote Telnet session, through the switch’s web browser interface, and from
an SNMP network management station running a network management
program, such as ProCurve Manager. For a listing of switch features available
with and without an IP address, refer to “How IP Addressing Affects Switch
Operation” in the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the
ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.
For more information on IP addressing, refer to “IP Configuration” in the
Management and Configuration Guide.

3-1

Getting Started With Switch
Configuration

In the factory default configuration, the switch has no IP (Internet Protocol)
address and subnet mask, and no passwords. In this state, it can be managed
only through a direct console connection. To manage the switch through inband (networked) access, you should configure the switch with an IP address
and subnet mask compatible with your network. Also, you should configure
a Manager password to control access privileges from the console and web
browser interface. Other parameters in the Switch Setup screen can be left at
their default settings or you can configure them with values you enter.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration

Note

By default, the switch is configured to acquire an IP address configuration
from a DHCP or Bootp server. To use DHCP/Bootp instead of the manual
method described in this chapter, see “DHCP/Bootp Operation” in the
Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site.
See page 5-1 for details.

Using the Switch Setup Screen
The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for management and password protection in your network is to use a direct console
connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the Switch Setup
screen.
1.

Using the method described in the preceding section, connect a terminal
device to the switch and display the switch console command (CLI)
prompt (the default display).
The CLI prompt appears displaying the switch model number, for
example:

Where to Go From Here
The above procedure configures your switch with a Manager password, IP
address, and subnet mask. As a result, with the proper network connections,
you can now manage the switch from a PC equipped with Telnet, a web
browser interface, or from an SNMP-based network management station
using a tool such as ProCurve Manager.
Some basic information on managing your switch is included in the next
section. For more information on the console, web browser, and SNMP
management interfaces and all the features that can be configured on the
Series 5400zl Switches, please see the Management and Configuration Guide
which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Getting Started With Switch

Getting Started With Switch Configuration
Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management

Using the IP Address for Remote Switch
Management
With your Series 5400zl Switches, you can use the switch’s IP address to
manage the switch from any PC that is on the same subnet as the switch. You
can use either a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage the
switch.

Starting a Telnet Session
To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps:
Ensure the switch is configured with an IP address and that the switch is
reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session (for example, by
using a ping command to the switch’s IP address).

2.

Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the switch
and connect to the switch’s IP address.

3.

You will see the copyright page and the message “Press any key to
continue”. Press a key, and you will then see the switch console command
(CLI) prompt, for example (assuming there is no password):
ProCurve 5400zl#
Enter help or ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the
prompt. Entering any command followed by help provides more detailed
context help information about the command. Entering any command
followed by ? displays a list of options that are available at that point in
the command entry.

Starting a Web Browser Session
Your Series 5400zl Switch can be managed through a graphical interface that
you can access from any PC or workstation on the network by running your
web browser and typing in the switch’s IP address as the URL. No additional
software installation is required to make this interface available; it is included
in the switch’s onboard software.
An example web browser interface screen is shown in the next illustration.

Hot Swapping

The ProCurve Switch 5400zl supports “hot swapping” - the ability to replace
the following hardware components while the switch is operating: a fan tray,
power supply (if a second power supply is installed), interface module.
The Management module and its components are not hot swappable.
The hot swapping feature allows you to remove or install modules without
powering off or rebooting the switch. Swapped-in modules are recognized by
the switch and begin functioning immediately after they are installed.
The ProCurve 5400zl Switch and its components are sensitive to static
discharge. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions
when hot swapping components. For example, connect your antistatic wrist
strap to the ground point on the front of the switch, above the rightmost power
supply bay.

WARNING

This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully power
down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply cables from the
unit.

Replacing Power Supplies
If your ProCurve 5400zl Switch is configured with redundant power supplies,
you will not suffer any loss of traffic or performance if a power supply fails.
Replace the failed component as soon as possible. One of the Internal Power
LEDs on the management module will blink simultaneously with the switch
Fault LED indicating which power supply failed.
Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the
same for the 12-slot chassis.

needs to be replaced. You cannot replace individual fans.
The fan tray is hot swappable. It can be removed and replaced without
removing power from the switch. However, install the new fan tray
immediately (within two minutes) after removing the old fan tray to avoid
overheating and switch shutdown (within three minutes).
Although these procedures show the 6-slot chassis, the procedures are the
same for the 12-slot chassis.

WARNING

To avoid contact with spinning fans, if you are hot swapping out the
fan tray assembly, pull the assembly out one-inch and allow the fans
to stop rotating (approximately 20 seconds) before pulling it all the
way out.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot your Series 5400zl Switches. Note
that this document describes troubleshooting mostly from a hardware
perspective. You can perform more in-depth troubleshooting using the software tools available with the switch, including the full-featured console
interface, the built-in web browser interface, and ProCurve Manager, the
SNMP-based network management tool. For more information, see the
chapter “Troubleshooting” in the Management and Configuration Guide,
which is on the ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com. To display the list

Basic Troubleshooting Tips
Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items
first when starting your troubleshooting:
■

Faulty or loose cables. Look for loose or obviously faulty connections.
If they appear to be OK, make sure the connections are snug. If that does
not correct the problem, try a different cable.

5-1

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
■

Non-standard cables. Non-standard and miswired cables may cause
network collisions and other network problems, and can seriously impair
network performance. Use a new correctly-wired cable or compare your
cable to the cable in appendix B, “Switch Ports and Network Cables” for
pinouts and correct cable wiring. A category 5 cable tester is a recommended tool for every 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T network installation.

■

Improper Network Topologies. It is important to make sure you have
a valid network topology. Common topology faults include excessive
cable length and excessive repeater delays between end nodes. If you have
network problems after recent changes to the network, change back to
the previous topology. If you no longer experience the problems, the new
topology is probably at fault.
In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains
no data path loops. Between any two end nodes, there should be only
one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast
storms that will severely impact your network performance.
With your Series 5400zl Switches, if you wish to build redundant paths
between important nodes in your network to provide some fault tolerance, you should enable Spanning Tree Protocol support on the switch.
This ensures that only one of the redundant paths is active at any time,
thus avoiding data path loops. Spanning Tree can be enabled through the
switch console, the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager.
The Series 5400zl Switches also support Trunking, which allows multiple
network cables to be used for a single network connection without
causing a data path loop. See the Management and Configuration Guide
for more information on Spanning Tree and on Trunking, which is on the
ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

■

5-2

Connecting to devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration.
The RJ-45 ports on the Series 5400zl Switches are all configured as “Auto”.
That is, when connecting to attached devices, the switch will operate in
one of two ways to determine the link speed and the communication mode
(half duplex or full duplex):
•

if the connected device is also configured to Auto, the switch will
automatically negotiate both link speed and communication mode

•

if the connected device has a fixed configuration, for example 100
Mbps, at half or full duplex, the switch will automatically sense the
link speed, but will default to a communication of half duplex

Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Ensure that all devices connected to the Series 5400zl Switches are
configured to auto negotiate, or are configured to connect at half duplex
(all hubs are configured this way, for example).
If necessary though, you can modify the configuration of the ports on the
Series 5400zl Switches to match the configuration of the connected
device. Use the switch console, the web browser interface, or ProCurve
Manager to modify the port configuration.
■

Check the port configuration. A port on your Series 5400zl Switch may
not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking”
state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic
trunking). (Note that the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP,
and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just
may have been configured as disabled through software.
Use the switch console to determine the port’s configuration and verify
that there is not an improper or undesired configuration of any of the
switch features that may be affecting the port. See the Management and
Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for
details.

For more information on possible network problems and their solutions, refer
to the technical note “Troubleshooting LAN Performance and Intermittent
Connectivity Problems”, which can be found on the ProCurve Networking
Web site, www.procurve.com, in the Reference Library section.

5-3

Troubleshooting

Because the Series 5400zl Switches behave in this way (in compliance
with the IEEE 802.3 standard), if a device connected to the switch has
a fixed configuration at full duplex, the device will not connect correctly
to the switch. The result will be high error rates and very inefficient
communications between the switch and the device.

Solution

➊

The power supplies
installed in the
switch are not
plugged into active
AC power sources,
or the power supply
may have failed.

1. Verify the power cord is plugged into an active power source and to the switch.
Ensure these connections are snug.
2. Try power cycling the switch by unplugging and plugging the power cord back in.
3. If the Power LED is still not on, verify the AC power source works by plugging
another device into the outlet. Or try plugging the switch into a different outlet or
try a different power cord.
If the power source and power cord are OK and this condition persists, the switch
power supply may have failed. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the
electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer
Support/Warranty card for more information.

➋

A switch hardware
failure has
occurred. All the
LEDs will stay on
indefinitely.

Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch may have
failed. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support
services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card
for more information.

➌

The switch has
experienced a
backplane failure
during self test.

The failure may be just in the communications with a single module slot, or it might
be more significant. Start a console session with the switch, and at the CLI prompt
issue the command show logging. In the event log that is displayed, there will
be messages that describe the extent of the problem. If the problem is with individual
slots, the remainder of the switch slots will be fully operational and can be used until
you get a chance to replace the switch.
If necessary to resolve the problem, contact your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer,
or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the
Customer Support/Warranty card for more information.

➍

The module
installed in the slot
that corresponds to
the letter that is
blinking is an
invalid module.

The fact that the Link and Mode LEDs never are lit on the module indicates that it is
a ProCurve Switch gl module and should not be used in your zl switch.
Ensure you have installed a zl module in the slot. ProCurve xl/gl modules
Zl
will fit in the slot, but they are not compatible with your ProCurve zl switch.
module Check to ensure the module has a Blue “zl module” symbol on it.
Remove the module from the switch and replace it with a zl module, or
recover the slot with the cover plate. You can remove and replace the module
without having to power down the switch. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer,
or use the electronic support services from ProCurve to get information on
supported Switch zl modules. The modules that are available as of the printing of
this manual are listed on page 1-13.

➎

The module
installed in the slot
that corresponds to
the letter that is
blinking has
experienced a self
test or initialization
fault.

The modules are all tested whenever the switch is powered on, or reset (through
the Reset button on the switch, or the Boot or Reset options in the console or web
browser interface), and when they are hot swapped (installed when the switch is
powered on).
Since the Link and Mode LEDs on the module were lit at least briefly, that indicates
that the module did receive power from the switch, but the subsequent download
process failed. Either the module is faulty, or it is a new module type that is not yet
supported by the operating code on the switch.
As ProCurve Networking introduces new modules for your ProCurve Switch zl, you
may have to update the switch with new operating code that supports the new
module. The documentation that came with the module will indicate which version
of the operating code is needed to support the module. The modules that are
supported in your Switch zl, as of the printing of this manual, are listed on
page 1-13 under “Switch Features”. The latest code can be downloaded from the
ProCurve Networking Web site at www.procurve.com.
First verify the switch has a version of code that supports the module that is
indicating the fault. If the module is not one of the ones listed on page 1-13, check
the module documentation to see what version of switch code is needed. Download
the new code and retest the module.
If you have the correct code installed in the switch, try removing and reinstalling the
module. You can do this without having to power down the switch. When the module
is reinstalled, it will be retested automatically.
If the fault indication reoccurs, the module may have failed. Remove the module from
the switch and replace it with another module, or recover the slot with the cover
plate. Call your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support
services from ProCurve to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card
for more information.

➏

In the slot
corresponding to
the letter that is
blinking, a module
was installed that is
a different type
than the previously
installed module,
and the switch has
not yet been reset.

When you “hot swap” modules in the switch slots, if you install a different module
type than the one that was previously installed in the slot, you must reset the switch
so the switch processor can properly initialize and configure the new module type.
The blinking LED informs you that this change of module types has occurred. The
module will not work properly until the switch is reset.
You can reset the switch by any of these methods:
• pressing the Reset button.
• power cycling the switch.
• selecting the reset or reboot option from the console, web browser interface, or
ProCurve Manager.

Solution

➐

The network port
for which the Link
LED is blinking has
experienced a self
test or initialization
failure.

During the module self test, described in tip number 4 earlier in this table, each
network port is also tested. If the port self test fails, the individual port is not usable,
but the rest of the ports on the module, which have passed their self test, will
continue to operate normally.
If the port is a mini-GBIC, verify it is one of the mini-GBICs supported by the
mini-GBIC zl Module. Unsupported mini-GBICs will be identified with this fault
condition. The supported mini-GBICs are listed in the module Installation Guide. The
mini-GBICs are also tested when they are “hot-swapped”--installed or changed
after the mini-GBIC zl Module is installed and receiving power from the switch.
To verify the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling the module, as described
in tip number 4. For the mini-GBICs, you can just remove and reinstall the
mini-GBIC without having to remove the module. If the port fault indication reoccurs,
and you need to be able to use the port, you will have to replace the mini-GBIC or
the module. In the mean time, all the other module ports will operate normally.

➑

A fault condition
has been detected
on the power
supply installed in
the slot
corresponding to
the blinking
number.

Try removing and reinstalling the power supply.
Caution: Ensure the AC power cord is disconnected from the supply before removing
and reinstalling the supply.
Reconnect the power supply to the AC power source. If the error indication reoccurs
after the supply is reinstalled, the power supply may be faulty. Call your ProCurve
authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support services from ProCurve
Networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/Warranty card for more
information.

➒

One or more of the
switch cooling fans
may have failed.

Try disconnecting power from the switch and wait a few moments. Then reconnect
the power to the switch and check the LEDs again. If the error indication reoccurs,
one or more of the fans has failed. The switch has multiple fans and may continue
to operate OK under this condition if the ambient temperature does not exceed
normal room temperature, but for best operation, the switch should be replaced.
Contact your ProCurve authorized LAN dealer, or use the electronic support
services from ProCurve Networking to get assistance. See the Customer Support/
Warranty card for more information.

because port
security has been
configured on the
switch and a
security violation
has been detected
on the port.

For the Port Security feature, you can configure the switch so that whenever a
security violation is detected on a port, the switch will disable the port. When a port
is disabled by this feature, the port Link LED will be continuously flashed at the fast
rate of 0.8 seconds per cycle. The blinking continues until you clear the security
violation through the switch console. In the console, you can view the identity of the
connected device that committed the security violation.
Once the security violation is cleared, you must re-enable the port through the
console.
For more information on the Port Security feature, see the Management and
Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.

Problem
The network
connection is not
working properly.

Solution
Try the following procedures:
• For the indicated port, verify both ends of the cabling, at the switch and the
connected device, are securely connected.
• Verify the connected device and switch are both powered on and operating
correctly.
• Verify you have used the correct cable type for the connection.
– for any of the twisted-pair connections, in the default configuration (Auto),
either a straight-through or a crossover cable can be used and the switch will
automatically adjust its operation. See the “HP Auto-MDIX Feature”
description on page B-6 for more information.
Note: If the module configuration is changed to one of the fixed
configuration options though (for example, 100-Full Duplex), then the port
operates as MDI-X only and the correct type of cable must be used. in
general, for connecting to an end node (MDI port), use straight-through
cable; for connecting to MDI-X ports on hubs, other switches, and routers,
use crossover cable.
– for fiber-optic connections, verify that the transmit port on the switch is
connected to the receive port on the connected device, and the switch
receive port is connected to the transmit port on the connected device, and
that both devices are transmitting correctly.
• For a 1000 Mbps connection, verify the network cabling complies with the IEEE
802.3ab standard. The cable should be installed according to the ANSI/TIA/EIA568-A-5 specifications. Cable testing should comply with the stated limitations
for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk, Far-End Crosstalk, Equal-Level Far-End
Crosstalk (ELFEXT), Multiple Disturber ELFEXT, and Return Loss.
The cable verification must include all patch cables from any end devices,
including the switch, to any patch panels in the cabling path.
• Verify the port has not been disabled through a switch configuration change.
You can use the console interface, or, if you have configured an IP address on
the switch, use the web browser interface, or ProCurve Manager network
management software to determine the state of the port and re-enable the port
if necessary.
• Verify the switch port configuration matches the configuration of the attached
device. For example, if the switch port is configured as “Auto”, the port on the
attached device also MUST be configured as “Auto”. Depending on the port type,
twisted-pair or fiber-optic, if the configurations don’t match, the results could be
a very unreliable connection, or no link at all.
If the other procedures don’t resolve the problem, try using a different port or a
different cable.

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Troubleshooting

Hardware Diagnostic Tests
Testing the Switch by Resetting It
If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch
to test its circuitry and operating code. To reset a switch, either:
■

Unplug and plug in the power cord (power cycling)

■

Press the Reset button on the front of the switch

■

Select the reset or reboot option from the console, web browser interface,
or ProCurve Manager.

Power cycling the switch, pressing the Reset button, and the software reset
or reboot options all cause the switch to perform its power-on self-test, which
almost always will resolve any temporary operational problems. These reset
processes also cause any network traffic counters to be reset to zero and cause
the System Up Time timer to reset to zero. Neither of these reset procedures
causes any changes to the switch configuration.

Checking the Switch LEDs
The self-test passes if the Fault and Test LEDs on the front of the switch go
off after approximately 90 to 150 seconds depending on the number and type
of modules installed in the switch. If these LEDs stay on longer than 180
seconds or begin blinking, the switch, or a module, or an individual mini-GBIC
may have to be replaced as indicated by the LEDs.
See “Diagnosing With the LEDs” on page 5-4 for information on interpreting
the LED patterns.

Checking Console Messages
Useful diagnostic messages may be displayed on the console screen when the
switch is reset. As described in chapter 2 under step 8, “Connect a Console to
the Switch”, connect a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator program or a
standard VT-100 terminal to the switch’s Console Port and configure it to run
at 9600 baud and with the other terminal communication settings shown on
page 2-26. Then, when you reset the switch, note the messages that are
displayed.

Hardware Diagnostic Tests

Testing Twisted-Pair Cabling

ProCurve Networking also offers a wire testing service. Contact your
ProCurve authorized LAN dealer or your local ProCurve Networking sales
office for more information.

Testing Switch-to-Device Network Communications
You can perform the following communication tests to verify the network is
operating correctly between the switch and any connected device that can
respond correctly to the communication test.
■

Link Test -- a physical layer test that sends IEEE 802.2 test packets to any
device identified by its MAC address

■

Ping Test -- a network layer test used on IP networks that sends test
packets to any device identified by its IP address

These tests can be performed through the switch console interface from a
terminal connected to the switch or through a telnet connection, or from the
switch’s web browser interface. See the Management and Configuration
Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.
These tests can also be performed from an SNMP network management
station running a program that can manage the switch, for example, ProCurve
Manager.

Testing End-to-End Network Communications
Both the switch and the cabling can be tested by running an end-to-end
communications test -- a test that sends known data from one network device
to another through the switch. For example, if you have two PCs on the
network that have LAN adapters between which you can run a link-level test
or Ping test through the switch, you can use this test to verify the entire
communication path between the two PCs is functioning correctly. See your
LAN adapter documentation for more information on running the a link test
or Ping test.

5-11

Troubleshooting

If you think the cable should work but still isn’t working, it may not be
compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T
standards, as appropriate for the switch port type that the cable is connected
to. The twisted-pair cables attached to the Series 5400zl Switches must be
compatible with these standards.To verify your cable is compatible with these
standards, use a qualified cable test device.

Restoring the Factory Default Configuration

Troubleshooting

Restoring the Factory Default
Configuration
As part of your troubleshooting process, it may become necessary to return
the switch configuration to the factory default settings. This process momentarily interrupts the switch operation, clears any passwords, clears the console
event log, resets the network counters to zero, performs a complete self test,
and reboots the switch into its factory default configuration including deleting
an IP address, if one is configured.

Note

This process removes all switch configuration changes that you have made
from the factory default settings. This includes, for example, configuration of
VLANs, spanning tree, trunks, stacking, meshing, routing, and security.
Returning the configuration of these features to their factory default settings
(usually disabling them) may result in network connectivity issues.
If the switch has a valid configuration, and you are restoring the factory default
settings for a reason other than configuration problems, you should save the
switch configuration prior to performing the factory default reset. Then, after
the reset and resolution of the original problem, you can restore the saved
configuration to the switch. For both the save and restore processes, you can
use the console copy command. See the switch Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site. See page 5-1 for details.
You can restore the factory default configuration either on the switch itself or
through the switch console.
To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:
1.

Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear
buttons on the front of the switch.

2.

Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.

3.

As soon as the Test LED begins to flash, release the Clear button.
The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its
configuration restored to the factory default settings.

To restore the factory default configuration using the console, execute the
erase startup config command from the console command prompt.

Switch Ports and Network
Cables

Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking
cables that work for 100Base-TX connections should also work for
1000Base-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most robust
connections you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e
specifications, as described in Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/
TIA/EIA-568-A-5).
Because of the increased speed provided by 1000Base-T (Gigabit-T), network
cable quality is more important than for either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. Site
cabling that is being used to carry 1000Base-T networking must comply with
the IEEE 802.3ab standards. In particular, the cabling must pass tests for
Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT).
Additionally, unlike the cables for 100Base-TX, the 1000Base-T cables must
pass tests for Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT), Multiple Disturber
ELFEXT, and Return Loss.
When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect
the switch and other end devices to the patch panels on your site. The patch
cables are frequently overlooked when testing cable and they must also
comply with the cabling standards.

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for
Gigabit-LX
The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiberoptic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port.

Note

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord cables only apply to one Gigabit operation.
Mode Conditioning Patch Cord cables are not supported for 10 Gigabit
operation.
Unlike Gigabit-SX, which connects to only multimode fiber-optic cabling,
Gigabit-LX can use either single-mode or multimode cable. Multimode cable
has a design characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires
that the transmission signals be “conditioned” to compensate for the cable
design and thus prevent resulting transmission errors. Since Gigabit-SX is
designed to operate only with multimode cable, Gigabit-SX mini-GBICs can
provide that transmission conditioning internally.

If you experience a high number of transmission errors on the Gigabit-LX
ports, usually CRC or FCS errors, you may need to install one of these patch
cords between the Gigabit-LX port in your switch and your multimode fiberoptic network cabling, and between the Gigabit-LX transmission device and
the network cabling at the other end of the multimode fiber-optic cable run.
A patch cord must be installed at both ends.
The patch cord consists of a short length of single-mode fiber cable coupled
to graded-index multimode fiber cable on the transmit side, and only
multimode cable on the receive side. The section of single-mode fiber is
connected in such a way that it minimizes the effects of the differential mode
delay in the multimode cable.

Note

If you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber cable that adheres
to the standards listed on page 3, there should not be a need to use mode
conditioning patch cords. This is especially true if the fiber runs in your
network are relatively short. If you are using single-mode fiber-optic cabling,
there is no need to use mode conditioning patch cords. Connect the singlemode network cable directly to the Gigabit-LX mini-GBIC.
B-5

Switch Ports and Network
Cables

Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs, since they are designed to operate with both singlemode and multimode cable, do not provide the transmission conditioning
internally. Thus, under certain circumstances, depending on the cable used
and the lengths of the cable runs, an external Mode Conditioning Patch
Cord may need to be installed between the Gigabit-LX transmitting device
and the multimode network cable to provide the transmission conditioning.

Switch Ports and Network Cables
Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs

Installing the Patch Cord
As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the Gigabit-LX
mini-GBIC with the section of single-mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit)
port. Then, connect the other end of the patch cord to your network cabling
patch panel, or directly to the network multimode fiber.
If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need
to install a female-to-female adapter to allow the cables to be connected
together.

The HP Auto-MDIX Feature. In the default configuration, “Auto”, the
10/100Base-TX ports on the 10/100-TX and PoE xl Modules used in the Series
5400zl Switches all automatically detect the type of port on the connected
device and operate as either an MDI or MDI-X port, whichever is appropriate.
So for any connection, a straight-through twisted-pair cable can be used -- you
no longer have to use crossover cables, although crossover cables can also be
used for any of the connections. The 100/1000-T xl Module supports the IEEE
802.3ab standard, which includes the “Auto MDI/MDI-X” feature, which operates the same way.

Note

HP Auto-MDIX was developed and shared with the IEEE for the development
of the IEEE 802.3ab standard. HP Auto-MDIX and the IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI/
MDI-X feature are completely compatible.
If you connect a Series 5400zl Switch twisted-pair port to another switch or
hub, which typically have MDI-X ports, the Series 5400zl Switch port automatically operates as an MDI port. If you connect it to an end node, such as a
server or PC, which typically have MDI ports, the Series 5400zl Switch port
operates as an MDI-X port. In all cases, you can use standard straight through
cables.
If you happen to use a correctly wired crossover cable, though, the switch will
still be able to automatically detect the MDI/MDI-X operation and link
correctly to the connected device.
If the port configuration is changed to any of the fixed configurations
though, for example 100 Mbps/full duplex, the port operates as MDI-X only
and the correct cable type must be used. In general, for connections to MDI
ports, such as end nodes, use a straight-through cable; for connections to MDIX ports, such as on hubs and other switches, use a crossover cable.
Other Wiring Rules:
All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be
twisted through the entire length of the cable. The wiring sequence must
conform to EIA/TIA 568-B (not USOC). See the Pin Assignment tables
below the cable illustrations later in this appendix for a listing of the
signals used on each pin.

■

For 1000Base-T connections, all four pairs of wires in the cable must be
available for data transmission. See “Note on 1000Base-T Cable Requirements” on page B-2 for more information on 1000Base-T cabling.

■

For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5
100-ohm differential unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twistedpair (STP) cable, as supported by the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard.

■

For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use Category 5 100-ohm differential UTP or STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX
standard.

■

For 1000 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better 100-ohm differential UTP
or STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard;
Category 5e or better is recommended.

Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs

Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections
Because of the HP Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switches,
for all network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or
other switches, you can use straight-through cables.
If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps/
Full Duplex, the ports operate as MDI-X ports, and straight-through cables
must be then used for connections to PC NICs and other MDI ports.

slängas på samma ställe som hushållssopor. I stället är det ditt ansvar att bortskaffa avfallet genom att
överlämna det till ett uppsamlingsställe avsett för återvinning av avfall från elektriska och elektroniska
produkter. Separat insamling och återvinning av avfallet hjälper till att spara på våra naturresurser och
gör att avfallet återvinns på ett sätt som skyddar människors hälsa och miljön. Kontakta ditt lokala
kommunkontor, din närmsta återvinningsstation för hushållsavfall eller affären där du köpte produkten
för att få mer information om var du kan lämna ditt avfall för återvinning.
