Switches 4000M and 8000M Power Supply Requirements

If you plan to install six or more HP ProCurve Switch 100Base-FX modules (HP J4112A) in the Switch
4000M or Switch 8000M, you must first install a second Switch 4000M/8000M (Redundant) Power
Supply (HP J4119A) in the switch. Note that if a redundant power supply is installed and one of the
switch’s power supplies subsequently fails, you can replace the failed power supply without
disrupting switch operation.
