The HP ProCurve Switch Modules are components that you can add to an HP ProCurve switch to provide a variety of network connectivity options.??This is a HP ProCurve Switch 10Base-FL Module with 4 fiber-optic ports with ST connectors for 10 Mbps operation over multimode fiber-optic cable. The HP ProCurve Switch Modules have the following features: auto-enabled ports-the ports are all configured to be ready for network operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected; auto-configuration-a default configuration is applied to the module when the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default configuration works well for most network installations; LEDs that provide information on the link status, network activity, connection bandwidth, and communication mode (half or full duplex); "hot swap" operation-you can add a module or replace a module without having to shut down the switch (changing the module type in a given slot does require a switch reset).

The standards-based Virtual Connect Ethernet Module looks like a pass-thru device to the network, yet provides all the key benefits of integrated switching including high performance 1G and 10G Fiber Optic uplinks to the data center switch, port aggregation, failover, VLAN tagging, and stacking. The Virtual Connect Fiber Ethernet Module manages and administers server profiles that can be pre-defined and deployed anywhere within a Virtual Connect domain. This allows servers to come online very quickly and easily without having to coordinate with network administrators. Less
