Modular 6-slot chassis for enterprise networking

The HP 5406 zl switch provides a 6-slot modular chassis that accepts zl modules to build a custom port configuration. It delivers up to 379.2 Gbps switching capacity and 282.1 million packets per second throughput. The platform supports a maximum of 48 10-GbE ports, 144 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports or 144 mini-GBICs in any combination. Premium software licensing is included for advanced Layer 3 features.

Network teams needing flexible density

This chassis suits organisations that need to scale port density incrementally by adding zl modules as demand grows. It fits environments requiring high-performance routing and switching with redundant power options. Buyers who need a fixed-configuration switch with integrated ports should consider other form factors. Operations requiring PoE budgets beyond what zl PoE modules can supply will need a different platform.

6 open module slots define total expansion

The six open slots are the single constraint that determines how many ports and which media types the switch can support. Each slot accepts one zl module, so the final port count and speed mix depend entirely on the modules chosen. No further expansion is possible once all six slots are populated.

Questions about this item

What speed does each open module slot support?

Each slot handles 10/100/1000Mbps connections and the chassis can scale to 48 10-GbE ports or 144 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports.

What physical space and power does the chassis require?

The 5406 zl is a rackmount chassis with six open module slots and operates on 100-127/200-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz.

How do I install modules so the switch recognises them?

Power down the chassis, slide each module into an open slot until it clicks, secure the thumbscrews, then power on; the switch auto-detects the new ports.
