Preface
1 Flexport upgrade instructions These instructions describe how to upgrade the Edge Switch 2/24 by installing the flexport upgrade kit. Each flexport upgrade kit contains: • Eight small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. • These upgrade instructions. • A transaction code for obtaining a software license key (feature key). Unpacking and inspecting the SFP transceivers Unpack and inspect the optics as follows: 1. Inspect the shipping container for damage caused during transit.
Upgrading to 24 ports To upgrade to 24 ports: 1. Perform the procedure for "Upgrading to 16 ports " on page 11. 2. Insert eight new SFP transceivers into ports 16 through 23 (Figure 1, reference 1). Ports 0 through 23 are now populated. If you need to configure feature keys, see "Obtaining a feature key" on page 12. Feature keys A flexport technology switch is delivered at a discount with only four ports enabled.
The Hewlett-Packard Authorization Center will deliver the unique feature key to you by the same method you use to send your information to the Authorization Center. For example, if you send your information by e-mail, the Authorization Center will send the feature key to you by e-mail. NOTE: Feature keys are encoded to work with the serial number of the installed switch only. Record the key in case you need to re-install the feature. 3.
