Module Hot Plug/Swap Operation Notes

The Series 3400cl Switches do not support hot plugging or hot swapping of the switch cl modules. If you install or remove modules after the switch has been powered on, a switch reset will occur. Installing or removing modules should only be done during scheduled downtime.

However, hot swapping of the tranceivers is supported. You can install or remove transceivers with the switch powered on.

For more information see the ProCurve Switch cl Modules Installation Guide.

Fiber Optic Transceiver Operating Temperature Variance

The fiber optic transceivers are rated at a lower operating temperature (0° C to 40° C (32° F to 104° F)), than the 6400cl/3400cl switches or the cl modules (0° C to 55° C (32° F to 131° F)). Therefore when either transceiver is installed in a cl module or in a 6410cl Switch it lowers the temperature rating of the module and the switch the module is installed in to equal the rating of the transceiver.
