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.
Note 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.
