Introducing the Switch

The ProCurve 2610 Switches are multiport switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are storeand-forward devices that offer low latency for high-speed networking. The 2610-PWR Switches also support Redundant Power Supply and Power over Ethernet (PoE) technologies.

Introducing the Switch

Throughout this manual, these switches will be referred to as the 2610 Switches and the 2610-PWR Switches.

■ The 2610 Switches, has either 24 or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45

ports with four Gigabit Uplink ports, two RJ-45 and two mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)) slots. For a list of supported mini-GBICs see page 2-17.

The RJ-45 Gigabit Uplink ports are auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T. These

Introducing the Switch

ports operate independently, they are not dual-personality.

The 2610-PWR Switches incorporate two additional features. These switches offer two types of power, one for switch AC operating power, and the other for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power:

■ Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - PoE technology 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 2610-PWR Switches are designed with an internal PoE power supply capable of providing 406 watts of PoE power (126 watts on the 2610-24/12PWR). All of the Switch 2610-PWR ports can provide up to 15.4 watts (or 7.5 watts if all 12 ports are used on the 2610-24/12PWR) of PoE power to connected devices.

1-2

Introducing the Switch

■ 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, (See page 1-13).

■ Redundant and External Power Supply Support - The 2610-PWR

Switches can be connected to a ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter referred to as the 600 RPS/EPS or a ProCurve 610 External Power Supply, hereafter referred to as the 610 EPS, and receive redundant power from that unit. As an RPS unit, the 600 RPS/ EPS will provide all the AC power necessary to keep the switch running should the switch internal AC power supply fail.

As an EPS unit, the 600 RPS/EPS and the 610 EPS can supply up to 408 watts of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply of the switch should fail. When used with the Switch 2610-48-PWR, the additional EPS power can provide up to 15.4 watts per port for 48 ports. For further information regarding the 600 RPS/EPS or the 610 EPS PoE capabilities, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web site at www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals, (See page

1-13).

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 2610 Switches offer full network management capabilities.

Switch Features

RPS and EPS Input Port

The 2610 Switches support connectivity to a redundant power supply (RPS/ EPS). The ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power Supply (J8168A) and the ProCurve 610 External Power Supply (J8169A) are accessory products for these switches. The RPS functionality of the 600 procides redundant system power in case the switch’s internal power supply fails. The EPS functionality of the 600 and the 610 provides additional PoE power.

Introducing the Switch

Power Connector

The 2610 Switches and 2610-PWR 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.

Switch Features

The features of the 2610 Switches and 2610-PWR Switches include:

■ 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports with Auto-MDIX.

■ 4 Uplink ports—two are 1000Base-T RJ-45 and two are mini-GBIC (SFP)

slots.

■ Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation—the 2610-PWR Switches are IEEE

802.3af compliant and provide up to 15.4W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, web cameras, and more. For more information, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the ProCurve Web site at www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals, (See page 1-13).

■ The 2610-PWR Switches support some pre-standard PoE devices.

However, the use of a cross-over cable may be required. For a current list see the FAQ page for the 2610-PWR Switch, which can be found on the ProCurve Web site, www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals, Technical Support, FAQs (all).

■ 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, 10/100 and 10/100/1000, 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 8000-

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

1-12

Introducing the Switch

Switch Features

■ Automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for the 10/100 and

10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices—the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex, unless a 100-FX SFP transceiver is installed. The 100-FX SFP transceiver can operate at half duplex.

■ 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.

• ProCurve Manager—an SNMP-based, graphical network management tool that you can use to manage your entire network.

■ Support for the Spanning Tree Protocol to eliminate network loops

■ Support for up to 30 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the

attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs.

■ Download of new switch software for product enhancements or bug fixes.

■ Dual-speed fans to maintain cooling if the environment warms up on the

following switches:

• Switch 2610-48 (J9088A)

• Switch 2610-24/12PWR (J9086A)

• Switch 2610-24-PWR (J9087A)

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.

■ For safe operation do not install the switch with the side of the

switch (with the fan vents) facing either downward or upward.

■ Do not wall mount the 2610-PWR switches.

Cautions ■ If one of the following switches is to be mounted in a rack, you can use a

rail kit. Rail kit part number 508783-B21 can be used only with the following switches.

• J9085A ProCurve Switch 2610-24

• J9088A ProCurve Switch 2610-48

• J9086A ProCurve Switch 2610-24/12PWR

■ 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 PWR device’s 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

These steps summarize your switch installation. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps.

1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-6). 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 2-9). The 2610 Switches can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal surface. The 2610-PWR Switches may be mounted in racks and cabinets or on a horizontal surface.

Installing the Switch

The 2610-PWR Switches must not be wall mounted. The 2610 Non-PWR Switches can be wall mounted. See page 2-14 for wall mounting instruc- tions.

The following switches can be rack mounted with rail kit part number 508783-B21.

• J9085A ProCurve Switch 2610-24

• J9088A ProCurve Switch 2610-48

• J9086A ProCurve Switch 2610-24/12PWR

4. Connect power to the switch (page 2-16). Once the switch is mounted, plug it into the main power source.

5. Connect the network devices (page 2-16). Using the appropriate network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.

6. (Optional) Install mini-GBICs (page 2-17). The switch has two 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 600 RPS/EPS or 610 EPS (page 2-18). You may wish to use a 600 RPS/EPS or 610 EPS with your Series 2610-PWR Switch. To do so you must connect these external power supplies using the RPS or EPS cables supplied with these devices.
