Introducing the ProCurve

Series 5400zl Switches

• Slow Blinking = Internal PoE fault on this port.

• Fast Blinking = This port is denied PoE power or has an external load

fault.

Mode LED:

• On = PoE power is be supplied on this port

• Off = PoE is not being supplied on this port.

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable

supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connecting a

Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the Series 5400zl Switches”.

The console is a full-featured interface that can be used to configure, monitor,

and troubleshoot the switch. It can be run on a PC, laptop, or handheld device

emulating a VT-100 terminal, or on a standard VT-100 terminal.

Reset Button

This button will reset the switch when powered on. This action clears any

temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch self

test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are

displayed in the switch console interface, the switch web browser interface,

and through SNMP network management applications, such as ProCurve

Manager.

Press the Reset button also after changing the module type that is installed in

any of the switch module slots while the switch is powered on. In this case,

the switch must be reset to initialize the new module type. See “Hot Swapping

Switch Modules” on page 2-28.

Clear Button

This button is used for the following purposes:

■ Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the

Clear button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may

have configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and

need console access.

This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that

if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and

operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure

location, such as a locked wiring closet.
