The solution. 

If you encounter this problem, the solution is to configure the newer Series 4100gl 

Switch as the stack commander and configure the older switches as stack members. 

For more information on this feature, please see the 

Management and Configuration Guide

 that is 

on the 

Documentation CD

 that came with your switch. 

Time Zone Issue 

Starting with the G.05.xx version of the switch operating system software, an error in configuration 
of the Time Zone for TimeP or SNTP configuration has been corrected. Previous switch software, for 
all HP ProCurve switches, used positive time offset values for time zones that are West of GMT and 
negative values for times zones that are East of GMT. The standards indicate that time zones West of 
GMT should be designated by negative offset values, and time zones East of GMT by positive values. 
Software version G.05.xx corrects this error, but if you use to the same values for indicating time 
zones as you did for previous HP ProCurve switches, the time will be set incorrectly. For example, 
for previous HP ProCurve switches, the US Pacific time zone was indicated by +480. With software 
version G.05.xx (or later), the US Pacific time zone must now be indicated by -480.
