Safety
Before installing and operating these products, please read
the “Installation Precautions” in chapter 2, “Installing the
Switch”, and the safety statements in appendix B, “Safety
and EMC Regulatory Statements”.
The HP ProCurve 2520G-PoE Switches are multiport switches that can be used
to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are
store-and-forward devices that offer low latency for high-speed networking.
The 2520G-PoE switches also support Power over Ethernet (PoE)
technologies.
1
Throughout this manual, these switches will be referred to as the Switch
2520G-8-PoE and the Switch 2520G-24-PoE.
■The Switch 2520G-8-PoE has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
ports with two Gigabit Uplink dual-personality ports (ports 9 and 10).
■The Switch 2520G-24-PoE has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
ports, four of which are dual-personality ports (ports 21 through 24).
■Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - Both 2520G-PoE switches
support PoE technology, which allows IP telephones, wireless LAN
Access Points and other appliances to receive power as well as data over
existing LAN cabling, without needing to modify the existing Ethernet
infrastructure. The Switch 2520G-24-PoE is designed with an internal PoE
power supply capable of providing 195 watts of PoE power (67 watts on
the Switch 2520G-8-PoE). Each Switch port can provide up to 15.4 watts
(or 7.5 watts if all ports are used) of PoE power to connected devices. For
further information regarding PoE power, see the PoE Planning and
Implementation Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web site at
www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals.
1-1
Introducing the Switch
Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a
supported ProCurve mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)) for
fiber-optic connection. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled.
These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers
to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched
network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or
routers. In addition, the 2520G-PoE switches offer full network management
capabilities.
Using ProCurve mini-GBICs, these products support optional network
connectivity with the following speeds and technologies:

WARNING■The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it
from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as
possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively
lighter devices installed above.
■Wall-mount the Switch 2520G-8-PoE with network ports facing up
(away from the floor). Do not wall-mount the switch with the
network ports facing down (toward the floor) or ventilation ducts
facing up or down.
Cautions■Use only the AC/DC power adapter supplied with the Switch 2520G-8-PoE
for connection to an AC power source.
■Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the
power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.
■If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the switch, ensure the cord is adequately sized for the switch’s
current requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power cord displaying
the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords
in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be
used safely with the switch. If the supplied power cord does not fit,
contact ProCurve Networking support.
■When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and
should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
■Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-
current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply
circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the
same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for
the circuit. Maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices
near the AC power connectors.
■Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 50°C (122°F). This includes a fully-enclosed
rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not
restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
■Ensure all port covers are installed when the port is not in use.

Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures
These steps summarize your switch installation. The rest of this chapter
provides details on these steps.
1.Prepare the installation site (page 2-5). Make sure the physical
environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly
prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect
to the switch and having an appropriate location for the switch. See page
2-3 for some installation precautions.
2.Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-6). Plug the switch into a
power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel
indicate correct switch operation.
3.Mount the switch (page 2-8). The 2520G-PoE switches can be mounted
in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a
horizontal surface.
4.Connect power to the switch (page 2-15). Once the switch is mounted,
plug it into the main power source.
5.Connect the network devices (page 2-17). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
6.(Optional) Install mini-GBICs (page 2-18). The switch has two or four
slots for installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you install the switch,
it may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Mini-GBICs can be hot
swapped—they can be installed or removed while the switch is powered
on.
7.(Optional) Connect a console to the switch (page 2-20). You may
wish to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP
address so it can be managed using a Web browser, from an SNMP
network management station, or through a Telnet session. Configuration
changes can be made by using the included console cable to connect a PC
to the switch’s console port.
At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you
need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
LED Behavior
During the self test:
•Initially, all the switch and port LEDs are on. Most of the LEDs go off
and then may come on again during phases of the self test.
•For the duration of the self test, the Test LED stays on.
When the self test completes successfully:
•The Power, PoE and Fan (Switch 2520G-24-PoE only) LEDs remain on.
•The Fault, Locator and Tes t LEDs stay off.
•The Act LED remains on indicating the default port LED mode.
•The port LEDs on the front of the switch go into their normal opera-
tional mode:
–If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link
LEDs stay on and the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode
selected. In the default mode (Act), the Mode LEDs should be
blinking indicating port activity.
–If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the Link
and Mode LEDs will stay off.
If the LED display is different than what is described above, especially if
the Fault and Test LEDs stay on for more than 60 seconds or they start
flashing, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting” for diagnostic help.
