HP 1810-24 and 24G Switch Quick Setup Guide
The switch drawings in this document are for illustration only and may not match your particular switch model.
For more detailed instructions and information to set up your switch, view or download the Installation and Getting Started
Guide for your switch at www.hp.com/networking/support.
1. Unpack and check included parts. ■ Documentation kit
■ Switch
■ Accessory kit (installation hardware)
■ AC power cord
2. Prepare for installation. To avoid personal injury or product damage, review the “Safety Precautions” on
page 4.
3. Power on and verify that Self-Test completes normally. The switch does not contain a power switch. It is turned on
by connecting power through the AC power cord.
After Self-Test:
Power LED = On
Fault LED = Off
4. Mount the switch. Unplug the AC power from the switch before mounting it.
Rack Mounting: Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver to attach the accessory kit brackets to the switch using the
eight 8-mm M4 screws. Then use the four number 12-24 screws to secure the brackets to the rack.
Table or Desktop Mounting: Attach the four selfadhesive pads (included in the accessory kit) to the
bottom corners of the switch.

4. Mount the switch (continued)
Wall or Under-Table Mounting: Install two 5/8-inch (15.875 mm)
number 12 wood screws, (included) into the mounting surface,
positioned 10 inches (254 mm) apart. Use the wall anchors if
necessary. Then, position the switch over the screws and slide to
lock in place. Install the third screw at the side of the switch to
prevent it from sliding out of the locked position, if necessary.
Important: For wall-mounting, the network ports must be facing
up or down. Do not mount the switch with ventilation holes facing
up or down. (See “Installation Precautions” on page 4.)
5. Power on the switch.
Follow the same procedures as in step 3.
6. Configure the switch for operation on your network
(minimal configuration).
Using a standard Ethernet cable, connect a PC directly to the
switch.
