Description

HPE MSR 8-Port Gig-T HMIM Module

The HPE MSR 8-Port Gig-T HMIM Module is a high-performance service processing unit designed specifically for the HP MSR4000 Router. It combines fast data forwarding, robust security features, and intelligent packet analysis to optimize network performance in branch offices, data centers, and campus deployments. With a versatile port configuration that includes copper, fiber, and high-speed uplink options, plus two VPM slots for scalable expansion, this HMIM module delivers powerful, flexible networking while maintaining reliability and ease of management. The module ships with 4GB of DDR3 memory by default, ensuring responsive handling of routing tables, security policies, and multi-session traffic even under peak loads. Whether you are modernizing an existing MSR4000 network or building a new secure edge, this module is designed to maximize efficiency and simplify administration through integrated processing and policy enforcement.

  • Uncompromising performance for the HP MSR4000 Router: Engineered to extend the capabilities of the MSR4000, this HMIM module accelerates data forwarding and packet processing. By handling encryption/decryption and real-time packet analysis at the service level, it reduces bottlenecks on the core router and helps maintain low latency across complex, policy-driven networks.
  • Flexible, multi-technology port configuration: The module provides 4 x 1000BASE-T copper Ethernet ports for easy compatibility with legacy and modern Ethernet networks, alongside 4 SFP ports for fiber connectivity and 1 SFP+ uplink for high-speed, scalable transitions. Two VPM slots offer additional room for specialized modules or virtual processing capabilities, enabling tailored security and traffic-management functions as your network grows.
  • Advanced security and traffic management: With built-in processing for encryption and decryption, packet analysis, and filtering, the HMIM module supports sophisticated security policies and inspection at the network edge. This helps protect sensitive data, enforce compliance, and optimize traffic flows without needing separate devices, leading to more predictable, secure performance.
  • Ample memory for demanding workloads: Equipped with 4GB DDR3 default memory, the module is ready to support large routing tables, extensive access-control lists, deep packet inspection rules, and multiple concurrent sessions. The result is smoother throughput and resilient performance as network policies evolve or user demand increases.
  • Designed for seamless integration and scalability: The HMIM module is built to integrate cleanly with HP MSR4000 ecosystems, delivering dependable operation and straightforward management. Its modular design supports future upgrades and expansion, helping organizations protect their investment while adapting to changing security and performance requirements.

How to Install HPE MSR 8-Port Gig-T HMIM Module

  • Power down the HP MSR4000 router and unplug the power source. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge, and carefully prepare a clean workspace for hardware installation.
  • Open the chassis according to the device’s service manual and locate the HMIM slot designated for the 8-Port Gig-T module. Verify compatibility with your MSR4000 model and firmware version to ensure proper recognition after installation.
  • Align the HMIM module with the slot and insert it straight in until it seats securely with a definitive click. Avoid applying lateral pressure to pins or connectors; ensure the module sits flat and makes solid contact with the backplane.
  • Secure the module using the appropriate retention mechanism or screws specified by HP’s installation guidance. Reconnect any cables that were moved during the process, taking care not to over-tighten components.
  • Power on the router and access the management interface to verify that the HMIM module is detected. Configure the interfaces, apply or adjust security policies (encryption/decryption, packet filtering), and set up routing or policy-based rules as required for your environment.
