3 HP recommends that you use CX4 cables of HP on the LSPM1CX2P. The types of CX4 cables may update with time. For information about them, contact HP technical support or marketing staff. Description of LEDs There is an LED for each port on the panel of the interface card. Table 3 Description of LEDs on the LSPM1CX2P LED Status Description Port LED of the LSPM1CX2P interface card On Off The port is normally connected. The LED blinks quickly when the port is sending or receiving data. The port is not up. Port LED of the LSPM1CX2P interface card is not affected by the port mode switching button on your switch. For more information about the port mode switching button, see the installation guide of the switch. LSPM1XP2P Appearance of the interface card Figure 2 Front panel of the LSPM1XP2P interface card 3

You can insert an XFP transceiver module into the port to connect it to another XFP port through an optical fiber. For more information about the supported XFP transceiver modules and fibers, see Table 4. Description of LEDs For information about the description of LEDs, see Table 3. Installing an interface card The following tools are needed for the installation and removal of an interface card: Phillips screwdriver ESD-preventive wrist strap The installation tools are not shipped together with HP s devices. Prepare them yourself. 5

6 Installing the interface card Installing the interface card to the switch The procedure of installing the interface card to different models of HP switches is similar. This user guide takes the A G EI Switch with 2 Interface Slots (JD377A) as an example. Follow these steps to install the interface card to the switch: Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the ESD-preventive wrist strap makes good skin contact and is properly grounded. Step2 Loosen the mounting screws of the filler panel on the interface card slot of the switch with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the filler panel, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Install an interface card (I) Step3 Holding the fastening screws on the front panel of the interface card, gently push the interface card in along the slot guide rail until the interface card is in close contact with the switch, as shown in Figure 5. Step4 Tighten the captive screws with a Phillips screwdriver to fix the interface card. 6

7 Figure 5 Install an interface card (II) Keep the removed filler panel properly for future use. When tightening the fastening screws at both sides of the interface card with a screwdriver or an electric screwdriver, make sure that the torque is not bigger than 0.4 N-m. Removing the interface card Follow these steps to remove the interface card: Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the ESD-preventive wrist strap makes good skin contact and is properly grounded. Step2 Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws at both sides of the interface card until all spring pressure is released. Step3 Pull the interface card towards you along the guide rails, until it completely comes out of the switch chassis. 7

8 CAUTION: When installing or removing an interface card, note the following guidelines: Do not touch the surface-mounted components directly with your hands. Do not use too much force in the operation. After removing an interface card, if no new interface card is to be installed, install the filler panel as soon as possible to prevent dust and ensure normal ventilation in the switch. Installing an XFP transceiver module To avoid component damage caused by improper installation, carefully read the SFP/SFP+/XFP Transceiver Modules Installation Guide from the HP's website before installing the XFP transceiver modules. Installing and removing the dedicated CX4 cable Installing the dedicated CX4 cable Figure 6 CX4 cable CAUTION: Make sure that you have installed the LSPM1CX2P interface card before installing dedicated CX4 cables. Follow these steps to install the dedicated CX4 cable: Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it is properly grounded. Then unpack the dedicated CX4 cable. Step2 Horizontally insert the plug of the dedicated CX4 cable into the CX4 port of the switch and pay attention to the direction of the plug when plugging it. 8

9 Removing the dedicated CX4 cable Follow these steps to remove the dedicated CX4 cable: Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure the ESD-preventive wrist strap properly grounded. Step2 Holding the plug of the CX4 cable, pull the handle at the end of the plug to horizontally unplug the plug of the CX4 cable from the CX4 port of the switch. CAUTION: Dedicated CX4 cable is hot swappable. Make sure that the cable bending radius is no less than eight times of the cable diameter when dedicated CX4 cable is connected. Verifying the installation When the switch runs properly, check whether the interface card is operating properly according to the status of the Port LED on the interface card. 9
