ProCurve Series 8100fl Operation and Installation Notes  
System Clock. To ensure correct operation of your switch, you must update the system clock and  
reload prior to configuration. This is required only for the initial installation and configuration of your  
system. See “Setting the System Clock” on page 1 for details.  
Version B or later mini-GBICs only. The Series 8100fl Switches do not support “A” version ProCurve  
mini-GBICs. Use only ProCurve JxxxxB version mini-GBICs or later with your switch. See “Mini-GBIC  
Operation Notes” on page 3 for details.  
Console Serial Port is only 9600 baud. There is no auto-baud detect on the switch. To connect a  
console to the switch, configure your VT-100 terminal to operate with the following settings:  
9600 baud rate/8 data bits/1 stop bit/no parity/no flow control.  
Out of band Management Port. The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port on the management module is for  
management only. It cannot be used for switching network traffic. The port is not auto-MDIX.  
Setting the System Clock  
To set the system date and time, use the clock set command from the command line interface (CLI). For more  
information, refer to “Getting Started with Switch Configuration” in the Installation and Getting Started Guide.  
You can verify the clock settings using the show clock command.  
For example:  
Switch 8100fl#clock set 18:45:29 30 September 2005  
Switch 8100fl#show clock  
*18:45:29 UTC Fri September 30 2005  
 
   
To Determine the Current Software Version in Your Switch. Use any of the following methods to view  
the software version:  
Start a console session with the switch. In the console login screen (the first screen displayed), the  
Software revision line under the switch name shows the software version.  
If you already have a console session going, at the prompt enter the show version command. The  
resulting display lists the current software version.  
In the web browser interface, click on the Identity tab. The current software version is listed as the  
revision number in the Version line.  
Mini-GBIC Operation Notes  
Revision “B” or later mini-GBICs only. This product requires ProCurve revision “B” mini-  
GBICs (product number ends with the letter “B”, for example J4858B, J4859B) or later revision mini-  
GBICs. 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 products ensures that your network maintains optimal performance and reliability. Should  
you require additional ProCurve mini-GBICs, please contact a ProCurve sales representative or an  
authorized reseller.  
Hot Swapping mini-GBICs. The Gigabit-SX, Gigabit-LX, Gigabit-LH, and 1000Base-T mini-GBICs  
that you can install in your ProCurve switch or mini-GBIC Module 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.  
Connecting the mini-GBICs to Devices with Fixed Configurations. For some older network  
devices, including some older ProCurve devices, the default for the Gigabit-SX, Gigabit-LX, and  
Gigabit-LH 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.
