Flexport Upgrade Instructions
This chapter provides instructions for upgrading the edge switch 2/32 from 16 ports to
24 ports and from 24 ports to 32 ports by installing the Edge Switch 2/32 flexport
upgrade kit, see
Table 1–1 on page 1–11.
Each port expansion kit includes eight optical transceivers, upgrade instructions, and a
entitlement certificate containing transaction code for obtaining a software licence key
(feature key) through an HP website. The feature key can be enabled in the switch
using one of the following methods:
• Configure menus of the Product Manager
• Configure menus of the Embedded Web Server (EWS) for the specific switch
• Through the command line interface (CLI)
Unpack and Inspect the Optics
Unpack and inspect the optics as follows:
• Inspect the shipping container for damage caused during transit. If a container is
damaged, ensure a representative from the freight carrier is present when the
container is opened.
• Unpack the shipping container and inspect each item for damage. Ensure all items
listed on the enclosed bill of materials are included in the container.
• If any items are damaged or missing, please contact a HP authorized service
provider or reseller.
