HP ProCurve Switch 4000M / 8000M / 2424M / 1600M Reviewer’s Guide
• HP Switch 10Base-FL module provides (4) 10Mbps multi-mode fiber optic ports
HP ProCurve Switch 8000M
A modular 10 slot mini-chassis. Essentially the HP ProCurve Switch 4000M without any ports pre-
installed.
HP ProCurve Switch 2424M
The HP ProCurve Switch 2424M is a stackable switch that provides twenty-four 10/100 Base-T
autosensing ports and one open slot. The HP ProCurve Switch 2424M is ideal for low cost managed
10/100 desktop switching for users that desire a stackable solution. The Stacking Module provides a
convenient high-speed stacking connection between switches and has two transceiver slots left
over to provide a high-speed standardized Gigabit uplink connection to the backbone or an
aggregator switch.
Modules available for the HP ProCurve Switch 2424M slot are:
• Any of the modules listed under the HP ProCurve Switch 4000M above.
• HP ProCurve Switch 2424M Gigabit Stacking Module provides two Gigabit ports that are
transceiver-based. Transceivers available are:
• HP ProCurve Gigabit-SX Transceiver
• HP ProCurve Gigabit-LX Transceiver
• HP ProCurve Gigabit-Stacking Kit (allows a low cost Gigabit stacking connection
between two HP ProCurve Switch 2424Ms). Includes two transceivers and a .5m cable.
Note that the Gigabit Stacking Module only works in the HP ProCurve Switch 2424M. It cannot be
used in the HP ProCurve Switches 8000M / 4000M / 1600M.
HP ProCurve Switch 1600M
A fixed port switch with sixteen fixed 10/100Mbps autosensing ports and one expansion slot,
primarily for Gigabit connectivity, but will accept any of the modules listed with the HP ProCurve
Switch 4000M above. Ideal for server farm connectivity.
