Software revision line under the switch name shows the software version.
■
If you already have a console session going, at the prompt enter the
show version command. The
resulting display lists the current software version.

Switches 4000M and 8000M Power Supply Requirements
If you plan to install six or more HP ProCurve Switch 100Base-FX modules (HP J4112A) in the Switch
4000M or Switch 8000M, you must first install a second Switch 4000M/8000M (Redundant) Power
Supply (HP J4119A) in the switch. Note that if a redundant power supply is installed and one of the
switch’s power supplies subsequently fails, you can replace the failed power supply without
disrupting switch operation.
