Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes
NOTE:
In the compatibility matrixes in this appendix, a solid dot (z) represents compatible and a dash (—)
represents incompatible.
MPUs
MPUs are the supervisor engines that manage and control the operations of a switch. The MPUs for the
7500 switches also work as switching fabrics.
You can install up to two MPUs on an HP 7500 switch except the 7503-S, and the MPUs must be the same
model.
Table 43 d
escribes the MPUs available for the 7500 switches, and Table 44 describes the MPU and
switch chassis compatibility.

Ethernet ports
(10/100BASE-TX)
combo interface has one SFP port and one RJ-45 Ethernet port. These two ports cannot work
simultaneously. When you activate one port (by using the undo shutdown command), the other port
automatically shuts down. By default, the lower numbered port is active.
