Reasons for Resetting the Switch

Generally, you only need to reset the switch when it needs to recognize a
change in its hardware or software (console) configuration. Some
circumstances in which you will need to reset the switch are:
Installing a module in a slot that was previously occupied by a different
type of module—for example, installing a Gigabit Stacking Module in a slot
that was previously used for a Gigabit-LX Module—the switch must be
reset after the new module is installed so the switch processor can properly
initialize and configure the new module type.
When a module is exchanged for a different type, until the switch is reset
the module will not operate correctly. The Module Status LED on the front
of the Switch 2424M will continue to flash, and all the LEDs on the module
will stay on continuously.
Changing certain switch configuration parameters through the console
interface. (In this case, the console provides indications when the switch
must be reset for the configuration change to be activated.)
For diagnostic purposes. See "Troubleshooting" on page 13 for more
information.
You do not need to reset the switch when:
installing a module in a previously unused slot
replacing a module with the same type of module
changing most of the switch configuration parameters

Methods of Resetting the Switch

You can reset the switch by any of these methods:
pressing the Reset button on the front of the switch
power cycling the switch
selecting the Reset or Reboot option from the switch console, web browser
interface, or HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches
