Software Release K.11.3x or Greater Is Required on Your Switch 5400zl
ProCurve switch software release K.11.17 is installed on the switch at the factory. This version of
the switch software provides support for the two switch zl modules J8706A and J8708A.
For installation information refer to the ProCurve Switch zl Modules Installation Guide
(5991-4714), that came with your zl 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 zl Modules Installation Guide, for
more information.
