ProCurve Series 8100fl Operation and Installation Notes
■ System Clock. To ensure correct operation of your switch, you must update the system clock and
reload prior to configuration. This is required only for the initial installation and configuration of your
system. See “Setting the System Clock” on page 1 for details.
■ Version B or later mini-GBICs only. The Series 8100fl Switches do not support “A” version ProCurve
mini-GBICs. Use only ProCurve JxxxxB version mini-GBICs or later with your switch. See “Mini-GBIC
Operation Notes” on page 3 for details.
■ Console Serial Port is only 9600 baud. There is no auto-baud detect on the switch. To connect a
console to the switch, configure your VT-100 terminal to operate with the following settings:
9600 baud rate/8 data bits/1 stop bit/no parity/no flow control.
■ Out of band Management Port. The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port on the management module is for
management only. It cannot be used for switching network traffic. The port is not auto-MDIX.
Setting the System Clock
To set the system date and time, use the clock set command from the command line interface (CLI). For more
information, refer to “Getting Started with Switch Configuration” in the Installation and Getting Started Guide.
You can verify the clock settings using the show clock command.
For example:
Switch 8100fl#clock set 18:45:29 30 September 2005
Switch 8100fl#show clock
*18:45:29 UTC Fri September 30 2005
