The module is managed through an easy to use Command Line Interface (CLI). The module can be installed in any HP ProCurve zl switch (either the switch series 5400zl or 8212zl). A maximum of four Services Modules can be installed in the same chassis.
Hardware Installation Installing the Module For a description of the front panel buttons and LEDs, see Table C-1 on page www. procurve.com/manuals. in the Web version of this document at N o t e The printed version of this document contains the basic information needed to get you started using the Services Module.
Hardware Installation Installing the Module Installation Procedure N o t e Before installing the Services Module, confirm that the switch has the most current version of module-compatible software installed. Otherwise the switch will not recognize the Services Module. For directions on how to check the switch software version, see “Initial Configuration”...
Hardware Installation Installing the Module The procedure to replace or remove a Services Module is described on page www. procurve.com/manuals. in the Web version of this document at Appendix C also describes the procedure to replace the module’s Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and the Compact Flash (CF) card.

The Services Module does not ship with any product software installed. When the module is installed in a switch for the first time, the system boots directly into the Service OS. From here, HP ProCurve certified product software can be downloaded, installed, and activated on the module. Product software includes both the application and the product OS.
Page 13
Getting Started The figure below shows where the three different operating systems reside on the Services Module. Note that the Service OS and the product OS live in independent partitions on the hard disk. Figure 2-1. Module Operating Systems CLI commands are available to boot the module from one OS to another. The following examples show the CLI commands to switch between operating systems.
Getting Started Initial Configuration Initial Configuration The Command Line Interface (CLI) must be used to carry out the steps required to configure the module. The module CLI is accessed through the switch CLI, and is available in all three OS environments: Service OS, CF Service OS, and product OS (limited command set).
Getting Started Initial Configuration An example output from this command looks as follows: Status and Counters - Services Module C Status HP Services zl Module J9154A Versions : A.01.06, B.01.03 Current status : running Description Version Status --------------- ------------------- --------- Services zl Module B.01.03...
Service OS does not require the product to be removed first. Service OS Installation Periodically, Service OS updates are available from HP ProCurve. To check the Service OS version installed on the Services Module, first boot the Service OS, if it is not already booted. Then, access the module’s Service OS CLI:...
Using the Service OS CLI, a user can download a product via the network or through the USB interface. The product is certified, that is, signed and encrypted, to authenticate that it is from HP ProCurve. Once validated, the bits are stored on the Services Module's hard disk and are ready for installa- tion.
Getting Started Activating a Product Activating a Product To activate a product, a license must be applied to the module to bind the product to the specific Services Module. Once the license has been validated, the module then boots directly into the product OS. Follow the steps below to activate the product: Access the Service OS CLI.
Getting Started Downloading Multiple Products After the product boots, the product CLI becomes available: hostswitch# services c 2 hostswitch(services-module-C:PR)# A detailed description of the product activation process is on page D-6 in the www. procurve.com/manuals. Web version of this document at Downloading Multiple Products It is possible to download multiple products to the Services Module.

Hardware Components Replacing the Disk Drive C a u t i o n A 5-second delay is mandatory between removing a module, and either re- installing it, or replacing it with another. To replace one module with another, or to remove a module without replacing it, use the following procedure: Unscrew the retaining screws enough to disconnect them from the threaded holes in the switch.
Hardware Components Replacing the Flash Card Re-install the module into the switch. 10. Use an equal amount of pressure and push both extractor handles closed to completely seat the module. 11. Tighten the retaining screws. Extractor Handles Retaining Screws Disconnected Retaining Screws Figure C-5.
Page 35
Hardware Components Replacing the Flash Card Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws securing the module. Using the extractor handles, pull the module out from the slot and turn it over. Slide out the old flash card by applying slight pressure to the top of the flash card.
When an update is needed, use the following steps to update the switch software: www. procurve.com Visit the HP ProCurve Web portal at to check the version number of the latest module-compatible software. Check the version number of the software installed on the switch.
Updating Service OS via FTP The Services Module uses FTP to download its software. This requires that a local FTP server must be setup. The software update from HP ProCurve is packaged as a "zip" file containing a top-level folder which needs to be extracted onto the FTP server so that the folder name is visible to download from the module CLI.

Updating the Service OS N o t e HP ProCurve does not recommend downloading product images while booted into the CF Service OS. These should be downloaded from the Service OS; the HD allows for larger and faster downloads than the CF.
Software Components Updating the Service OS Updating CF Service OS via USB N o t e Any image folder (Service, CF Service, tools, or product) can be put on a USB flash drive and transferred to the Service or CF Service image repository. Insert a USB flash drive into a Windows PC.
