Replacing the Management Module

 

Replacing the Management Module

 

The Management Modules are designed to be hot-swappable, and can be

 

removed without damage. However, the synchronization of files may be

 

occurring, so to minimize the possibility of corruption between the Manage-

 

ment Modules when one is being removed, use the “MM Shutdown” button.

 

Using the “MM Shutdown” button will gracefully shutdown the Management

 

Module, completing any synchronization of files and state information to the

 

second (Standby) Management Module.

 

 

N o t e

If both Management Modules are removed from the switch at the same time,

 

the switch will shutdown.

 

If there is only one Management Module in the switch, ProCurve Networking

 

 

recommends replacing the Management module, flash disk and battery (on

 

the Management module) during scheduled down time.

 

To install (or replace) a Management Module:

 

1.

On the module unscrew the retaining screws enough to disconnect them

 

 

from the threaded holes in the switch.

 

2.

Using the extractor handles, pull the module out from the slot.

 

3.

Remove the flash disk from the failed module and install it into the

 

 

replacement module.

 

4.

Remove the battery from the failed module and dispose of properly.

 

5.

Install the new battery that came with the replacement module. See the

 

 

following pages for replacement instructions.

 

6.

Install the replacement module into the switch.

 

7.

Use an equal amount of pressure and push both extractor handles closed

 

 

to completely seat the module.
