These 24-port and 48-port switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Introducing the Switch

Switch Features

The following are the features of the Switches:

■ 24 or 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports with Auto-MDIX.

■ Two SFP+ uplink slots supporting HP SFP and SFP+ transceivers.

■ PoE+ operation—the switches are IEEE 802.3 at compliant and provide

up to 30W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, Web cameras, and more. For more information, see the HP Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the HP Web site at www.hp.com/networking/support.

■ The switches support some pre-standard PoE devices. However, the use

of a cross-over cable may be required.

■ Plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the

network cables to active network devices and your switched network is operational.

■ Auto-MDIX on all twisted-pair ports, meaning that all twisted-pair

connections can be made using straight-through cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work.

■ Automatic learning of the hardware addresses in each switch’s 16000-

address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).

■ Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100/1000 RJ-45

ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices.

■ A “Save Power” mode option that keeps port LEDs turned off except for

when the LED Mode select button is pressed.

■ An automatic low-power mode for ports when a link is not present.

■ Easy management of the switches through several available interfaces:

• Console interface — a full featured, easy to use, VT-100 terminal interface that is especially good for out-of-band switch management or for Telnet access to the switch.

• Web browser interface — an easy to use built-in graphical interface that can be accessed from common Web browsers.

• SNMP-based network management:

– HP PCM/PCM+ — a graphical network management tool that

you can use to manage your entire small to medium-sized network.

Installation Precautions

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 switches with network ports facing up or down.

Do not mount the switches with the ventilation or fan ducts facing up or down.

Cautions ■ 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 power source circuits are properly grounded.

■ Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord (if applicable),

supplied with the switch. Use of other adapters or power cords, including those that came with other HP Networking products, may result in damage to the equipment.

For those switches that use a power cord, if your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency the 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.

■ 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 45C (113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.

Installing the Switch

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 switch can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, under a table, or on a horizontal surface.

4. Connect power to the switch (page 2-12). Once the switch is mounted, plug it into the main power source.

5. Connect the network devices (page 2-13). Using the appropriate network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.

6. (Optional) Install SFP and SFP+ transceivers (page 2-14). The switch has two slots for installing transceivers. Depending on where you install the switch, it may be easier to install the transceivers first. Transceivers 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 2-15). 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.

Installation Procedures

2. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test

Before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying it passes its self test.

1. For the 24-port and 48-port switches, connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Figure 2-1. Connecting the power cord

Note The 24-port and 48-port do not have a power switch. They are powered on

when the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source. For safety, the power outlet should be located near the switch installation.

The switch automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-127 or 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Installation Procedures

2. Check the LEDs on the switch as described below.

Figure 2-2. Checking the LEDs

When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. Self test takes approximately 50 seconds to complete.

LED Behavior

During the self test:

• Initially, all the switch and port LEDs are on. Most of the LEDs go off

and then come on again during phases of the self test.

• For the duration of the self test, the Tes t LED stays on.

When the self test completes successfully:

•The Power, PoE and Fan 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 Te st LEDs stay on for more than 60 seconds or they start flashing, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to chapter 4,

3. Mount the Switch

After the switch passes self test, it is ready to be mounted in a stable location. The switch can be mounted in these ways:

■ in a rack or cabinet

■ on a horizontal surface

■ under a table

■ on a wall

Rack or Cabinet Mounting

The switch is designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack or communication equipment cabinet.

The 24-port and 48-port switches can also be mounted in 4-post racks and cabinets by using the HP X410 Switch Rail Kit (J9583A). For instructions on using the kit, see the documentation that is included with the kit.

Note that some mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated allowing for a wide variety of mounting options. Secure the rack in accordance with the manufacture’s safety guidelines.

WARNING For safe operation, please read the mounting precautions on

page 2-3, before mounting a switch.

Equipment Cabinet Note

2-8

The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with the switch.
