Guide for your switch at www.hp.com/networking/support.

1. Unpack and check included parts. ■ Documentation kit

■ Switch

■ Console port serial cable (DB-9 to RJ-45)

■ Accessory kit (installation hardware)

is powered on by connecting power through the AC power cord. After verification, unplug the switch.

4. (Optional) Install Modules. On the back of the switch are slots for 10 Gbps network connectivity and for high-speed

stacking. See the switch Installation and Getting Started Guide for more information on the use of these modules and
supported stacking topologies.

■ 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.

SFP transceivers supported by the switch.

See “SFP Installation Notes” on page 3.

7. Connect stacking cables. If you are stacking multiple HP 2920

switches together, then connect them into a supported stacking
topology using HP 2920 Stacking Modules and stacking cables. For
more information on supported stacking topologies, see the
Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch.

Caution: Make sure to connect the stacking cable with the
pull tab on the top. Insert the cable until it clicks into place.

To disconnect the cable, pull on the pull tab.
