Replacing the management module

The switch does not have to be powered off to remove the management module, however, when the management module is removed all ports will lose communication. HPE networking recommends replacing all components during the 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 “Installing a management module battery” for 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.

  8. Tighten the retaining screws.
