WARNING
Cautions
■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.
■When wall mounting, to meet national and international safety
requirements, wall mount with the network ports facing up. The
side vents cannot be placed up or downward.
■When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be located near the
switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be
powered off.
■Ensure that the AC 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 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.
2-4
■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). This includes a fullyenclosed 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.

2-8
When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. The
self test takes approximately 45 seconds to complete.
Self Test LED Behavior:
During the self test:
•Initially, the Power, Fault/Locator, and all port LEDs turn on.
•After several seconds, the Power and Fault/Locator LEDs remain on,
and the port LEDs turn off. Then each port Link LED is sequentially
turned on, then off.
Page 23
Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
•The Fault/Locator LED turns off when the self test completes.
When the self test completes successfully:
•The Power LED remains on.
•The Fault/Locator LED stays off.
•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/Act
LEDs stay on or may be blinking to indicate port activity. The Spd
LEDs turn on for 1000 Mbps links, blink for 100 Mbps links, or
stay off for 10 Mbps links. On the PoE+ switches, the Mode LEDs
behave according to the mode selected. In the default mode (Spd),
the Mode LEDs should be on for 1000 Mbps links, blink for 100
Mbps links, or stay off for 10 Mbps links.
–If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the Link/
Act and Spd LEDs will stay off.
If the LED display is different than what is described above, the self test
has not completed correctly. Refer to
“Troubleshooting”
for diagnostic
help.

installed in the switch.
2-14
When a network cable from an active network device is connected to the port,
the port LEDs for that port should go on. If the port LEDs do not go on when
the network cable is connected to the port, see “Diagnosing with the LEDs”
on page 4-2.
Page 29
Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
6. Installing or Removing SFPs
You can install or remove an SFP from an SFP slot without having to power
off the switch. Use only HP SFPs (see table on page 1-4).
CautionHot swapping transceivers is supported. You can install or remove a
transceiver with the switch powered on, a reset will not occur. However, rapid
hotswaps are not recommended. Wait a few seconds for the Mode LED to turn
on (during initialization), and then turn off.
NotesEnsure the network cable is NOT connected when you install or remove an
SFP.
CautionUse only supported genuine HP SFPs with your switch. Non-HP SFPs are not
supported, and their use may result in product malfunction. Should you
require additional HP SFPs, contact your HP Networking Sales and Service
Office or authorized dealer.
Installing the SFPs:
Remove the protective plastic cover and retain it for later use. Hold the SFP
by its sides and gently insert it into any of the slots on the switch until the SFP
clicks into place.
WARNINGThe HP SFPs are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to
the beam coming from the transmit port.
2-15
Page 30
Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
Removing the SFPs:
NoteYou should disconnect the network cable from the SFP before
removing it from the switch.
Depending on when you purchased your HP SFP, it may have either of three
different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of the SFP, a plastic
collar around the SFP, or a wire bail.
To remove the SFPs that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the tab or
collar toward the switch until you see the SFP release from the switch (you
can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.
To remove the SFPs that have the wire bail, lower the bail until it is
approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the SFP from the slot.
Replace the protective plastic cover on the SFP.
Connecting Cables to SFPs
If you have any SFPs installed in the switch, the type of network connections
you will need to use depends on the type of SFPs you have installed. See the
table on page 1-4, and appendix A, “Specifications”, for the SFP cabling
information.
2-16
For SFP ports, and in general for all the switch ports, when a network cable
from an active network device is connected to the port, the port Link LED for
that port should go on. If the port Link LED does not go on when the network
cable is connected to the port, see “Diagnosing with the LEDs” in chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting”.
Page 31
Configuring the Switch
Initial Configuration
The HP 1820 Switch Series can be managed through a Web-browser interface
that you can access from any PC or workstation connected to the switch.
To access the Web interface, you must have the switch’s Internet Protocol (IP)
address. In the factory default configuration, the IP address is automatically
acquired from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service that is
available on your network or from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most
routers provide this service. The DHCP service automatically provides a
network IP address configuration to devices that request it, such as the
HP 1820 switches.
Many features are configurable on the HP 1820 Switch Series. HP recommends
that at minimum, you configure a management password for switch security.
Follow these procedures to access the switch’s Web interface to perform the
switch configuration:
3
1.Place the switch close to the PC that you will use for configuration. It
helps if you can see the front panel of the switch while working from your
PC.
2.Connect power to the switch, and then start your PC (if it is not already
running) and wait until the switch and PC have finished their start-up
sequences.
3.Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet LAN
cable. Verify that there is a link between the switch and PC by checking
the LEDs for the network port that you are using. (For more information
on LEDs, see “LEDs” on page 1-5.)
4.If the switch has access to a DHCP service, it automatically acquires an
IP address. Determine the IP address of the switch by examining the client
IP address table on your router (see the router documentation for how to
get this information), or talk to your ISP representative to get the IP
address of the switch.
3-1
Page 32
Configuring the Switch
Initial Configuration
If a DHCP service is not available in your network, or for some reason the
switch does not acquire an IP address from the service, the switch defaults
to IP address 192.168.1.1 after 120 seconds of automatically attempting
to acquire an IP address.
NoteAlternatively, if you cannot determine the switch’s IP address, you can
force it to use the 192.168.1.1 address by first disconnecting the switch
from any router or internet connection and then unplugging and reconnecting power to it.
To communicate with the switch using the 192.168.1.1 address, see the
section “Using the 192.168.1.1 IP Address” on page 3-3 before continuing
these steps.
5.From the PC connected to the switch, open a Web-browser session and
enter the switch’s IP address as the URL. This opens the login screen for
the switch’s Web browser interface from which you perform the next
steps.
6.Enter the default username “admin” and click Login to start a switch Webbrowser interface session. By default, there is no password.
7.To configure a password on the switch Web interface, click Maintenance
> Password Manager and enter the Current Password. Define a New
Password and reenter it in the Confirm New Password field. Passwords
can be up to 64 alphanumeric and special characters in length, and are
case sensitive.
8.Click Apply to implement the new password, and then click Save Config-uration at the top of the browser configuration screen to save your
settings and retain them when the switch is rebooted.
See the HP 1820 Switch Series Management and Configuration Guide for
more switch configuration information.
NoteIf you cannot remember the switch’s IP address or password, you can restore
the factory default settings by following the procedure described in the
“Troubleshooting” section.

Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch port may
have failed. To confirm, try a different port that appears to be good. Call your HPauthorized network reseller, or use the electronic support services from HP to get
assistance.
If the port is an SFP, verify that it is one of the SFPs supported by the switch.
Unsupported SFPs will be identified with this fault condition. The supported SFPs
are listed in Chapter 1, “Switch Overview” on page 1-4. The SFPs are also tested
when they are “hot-swapped”— installed or changed while the switch is powered
on.
To verify that the port has failed, try removing and reinstalling the SFP without having
to power off the switch. If the port fault indication reoccurs, you will have to replace
the SFP.

Testing the Switch by Resetting It
Troubleshooting
Testing the Switch by Resetting It
If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch
to test its circuitry and operating code. To reset the switch, unplug and plug
in the power cord (power cycling).
Power cycling the switch will cause the switch to perform its power-on self
test. Resetting the switch can also be invoked from the Web interface.
Restoring to Factory Defaults
If you forget the switch IP address or password, you can restore the factory
default configuration by pressing the Reset button.
To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:
1.Using a small, thin tool with blunt ends (such as a paper clip), press the
Reset button on the front of the switch.
2.Continue to press the Reset button for more than 5 seconds.
3.Release the Reset button.
The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its
configuration restored to the factory default settings.
After completing this procedure, there will be no password, the IP address
will be returned to the default 192.168.1.1, and all configuration settings will
be returned to factory defaults.

Note on 1000BASE-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking
cables that work for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for
1000BASE-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most robust
connections, you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e
specifications, as described in Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/
TIA/EIA-568-A-5).
A-4
Because of the increased speed provided by 1000BASE-T (Gigabit-T), network
cable quality is more important than for either 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX.
Cabling plants being used to carry 1000BASE-T networking must comply with
the IEEE 802.3ab standards. In particular, the cabling must pass tests for
Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT).
Additionally, unlike the cables for 100BASE-TX, the 1000BASE-T cables must
pass tests for Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT) and Return Loss.
When testing your cabling, be sure to include the patch cables that connect
the switch and other end devices to the patch panels on your site. The patch
cables are frequently overlooked when testing cable and they must also
comply with the cabling standards.
The following information applies to installations in which multimode fiberoptic cables are connected to a Gigabit-LX port. Multimode cable has a design
characteristic called “Differential Mode Delay”, which requires the
transmission signals be “conditioned” to compensate for the cable design and
thus prevent resulting transmission errors.
Under certain circumstances, depending on the cable used and the lengths of
the cable runs, an external Mode Conditioning Patch Cord may need to be
installed between the Gigabit-LX transmitting device and the multimode
network cable to provide the transmission conditioning. If you experience a
high number of transmission errors on those ports, usually CRC or FCS errors,
you may need to install one of these patch cords between the fiber-optic port
in your switch and your multimode fiber-optic network cabling, at both ends
of the network link.
The patch cord consists of a short length of single mode fiber cable coupled
to graded-index multimode fiber cable on the transmit side, and only
multimode cable on the receive side. The section of single mode fiber is
connected in such a way that it minimizes the effects of the differential mode
delay in the multimode cable.

Mode Conditioning Patch Cord
NoteMost of the time, if you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber
cable that adheres to the standards listed in this appendix, there should not
be a need to use mode conditioning patch cords in your network. This is
especially true if the fiber runs in your network are relatively short.
Installing the Patch Cord
As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the transceiver
with the section of single mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit) port. Then,
connect the other end of the patch cord to your network cabling patch panel,
or directly to the network multimode fiber.
If you connect the patch cord directly to the network cabling, you may need
to install a female-to-female adapter to allow the cables to be connected
together.
Example: Connecting a Mode Conditioning Patch Cord for Gigabit-LX
Make sure you purchase a patch cord that has appropriate connectors on each
end, and has multimode fibers that match the characteristics of the multimode
fiber in your network. Most important, the core diameter of the multimode
patch cord must match the core diameter of the multimode cable
infrastructure (either 50 or 62.5 microns).

Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
Specifications
Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs
The Auto-MDIX Feature: In the default configuration, “Auto”, the fixed 10/
100/1000BASE-T ports on the switches all automatically detect the type of port
on the connected device and operate as either an MDI or MDI-X port,
whichever is appropriate. So for any connection, a straight-through twistedpair cable can be used—you no longer have to use crossover cables, although
crossover cables can also be used for any of the connections. (The 10/100/
1000-T ports support the IEEE 802.3ab standard, which includes the “AutoMDIX” feature.)
If you connect a switch twisted-pair port to another switch or hub, which
typically have MDI-X ports, the switch port automatically operates as an MDI
port. If you connect it to an end node, such as a server or PC, which typically
have MDI ports, the switch port operates as an MDI-X port. In all cases, you
can use standard straight-through cables or crossover cables.
If you happen to use a correctly wired crossover cable, though, the switch will
still be able to automatically detect the MDI/MDI-X operation and link
correctly to the connected device.
NoteUsing Fixed Configurations. If the port configuration is changed to any of
the fixed configurations though, for example 100 Mbps/full duplex, the port
operates as MDI-X only and the correct cable type must be used: for
connections to MDI ports, such as end nodes, use a straight-through cable; for
connections to MDI-X ports, such as on hubs and other switches, use a
crossover cable.
Other Wiring Rules:
■All twisted-pair wires used for 10 Mbps, and 100 Mbps operation must be
twisted through the entire length of the cable. The wiring sequence must
conform to EIA/TIA 568-B (not USOC). See “Twisted-Pair Cable Pin
Assignments” later in this appendix for a listing of the signals used on each
pin.
■For 1000BASE-T connections, all four pairs of wires in the cable must be
available for data transmission.
■For 10 Mbps connections to the ports, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5
unshielded twisted-pair cable, as supported by the IEEE 802.3 Type
10BASE-T standard.

■For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use 100-ohm Category 5 UTP or
STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3u Type 100BASE-TX
standard.
■For 1000 Mbps connections, 100-ohm Category 5e or better cabling is
recommended.

Straight-through Twisted-Pair Cable for
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections
Because of the Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switch, for all
network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other
switches, you can use straight-through cables.
If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps/
Full Duplex, the ports operate as MDI-X ports, and straight-through cables
must be then used for connections to PC NICs and other MDI ports.

Crossover Twisted-Pair Cable for
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connection
The Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switch also allows you to
use crossover cables for all network connections, to PCs, servers or other end
nodes, or to hubs or other switches.
If any of these ports are given a fixed configuration, for example 100 Mbps/
Full Duplex, the ports operate as MDI-X ports, and crossover cables must be
then used for connections to hubs or switches or other MDI-X network
devices.
