Switch Ports
The switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports and two dualpersonality ports (ports 23 and 24). Because the RJ-45 ports support automatic
MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network
connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs.
Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a
supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-optic connections. By default, the RJ45 connectors are enabled.
This switch is designed to be used primarily as a high-density wiring closet or
desktop switch. With this switch you can directly connect 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 switch offers network management
capabilities.

■ When the FDx (full duplex) indicator LED is on, the port Mode LEDs turn
on for those ports that are operating at full duplex.
■ When the Speed indicator LED is on, the port Mode LEDs turn on for ports
operating at 1000 Mbps. The port Mode LEDs are off for ports operating
at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Switch Features
The features of the ProCurve Switch 1800-24G include:
■ 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
■ plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
■ IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI /MDI-X on all twisted-pair ports, meaning that all
connections can be made using straight-through twisted-pair cables.
Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work. The pin
operation of each port is automatically adjusted for the attached device:
if the switch detects that a 10/100 Mbps switch or hub is connected to the
port, it configures the port as MDI; if the switch detects that a 10/100 Mbps
end-node device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X.
■ automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 8000-
address forwarding table.
■ automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for all 10/100/1000Base-T
RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-negotiating devices
■ the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex. (1800-24G)

Installation Precautions (Continued)
Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
Cautions
■ 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, 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.
■ 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. The 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 40 °C (104 °F).
■ Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not
restricted.
1. Prepare the Installation Site
Installing the Switch
Be sure to follow the guidelines below to ensure proper operation when
installing the switch into a network:
■ Ethernet cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted
pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors, maximum length 100 meters
(328 ft); Category 3 or better for 10Base-T, Category 5 or better for
100Base-TX, and Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000Base-T.
■ Fiber cable type: For 1000Base-SX mini-GBIC, 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm
core/cladding diameter, graded-index, multimode fiber-optic cables that
are fitted with LC connectors. For 1000Base-LX and 1000Base-LH miniGBICs, single-mode cables fitted with LC connectors.

2. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test
Before mounting the switch, verify it is working properly by plugging it into a
power source and confirming that it passes self test.
Note The switch does not have a power switch. It is 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 100-240 volts and
either 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
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 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.

Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
Port Link/Act and
Mode LED
Power LED
When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. The
self test takes approximately 20 seconds to complete.
Self Test LED Behavior:
During the self test:
• The LEDs go on and off several times during phases of the self test.
When the self test completes successfully:
•The Power LED remains on.
•The Fault LED remains off.
•The Speed LED remains on indicating the default 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 (Speed), the Mode LEDs should be
on for ports operating at 1000 Mbps and off for ports operating at
10 or 100 Mbps.
– If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the Link
and Mode LEDs will stay off.
Installing the Switch
If the LED display is different than what is described above the self test
has not completed correctly. Refer to “Troubleshooting” for diagnostic
help.
3. Mount the Switch
The switch can be mounted in these ways:
■ in a rack or cabinet
■ on a horizontal surface
■ on a wall
