Throughout this manual, this switch will be abbreviated as the Switch 3500yl24G, Switch 3500yl-48G or Switch 6200yl-24G.

The Switch 3500yl-24G and Switch 3500yl-48G have respectively, 24 or 48, auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ-45 ports, four dual-personality ports— either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini-GBIC.

1-1

Introducing the Switch

One slot is provided in the back of the device to support a four port (two fixed CX4 ports and two X2 transceiver ports) 10 Gigabit per second Ethernet (10GbE) module to provide box connectivity to other switch boxes, to a 10 Gigabit per second concentrator or to any Ethernet compatible uplink.

The Series 3500yl Switches are also designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. The switches support 802.3af standard devices and some pre-standard PoE devices. For a list of these devices, see the FAQs for your switch model. This feature is the default and you must disable it if you do not

Introducing the Switch

want to use it. (Refer to the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site, www.procurve.com. (See page 5-1 for details.)

The dual-personality ports have either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45, or mini-GBIC connectivity. The mini-GBIC ports do not support PoE. If any of the mini-GBIC ports are used the corresponding RJ-45 port will not be supplied with PoE power and will be disabled. For more information regarding the PoE capabilities of the Series 3500yl Switches, see the ProCurve Power over

Ethernet (PoE) for zl and yl Products Planning and Implementation Guide.

The Series 3500yl Switches can be connected to a ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) and receive redundant power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running. This includes power to run the switch and PoE power. If maximum PoE power is being used on all 48 ports, a 620 RPS/EPS is necessary just to provide full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there is no redundancy.

1-2

The Series 6200yl Switch can be connected to the ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) and receive redundant power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running. This only includes power to run the switch. The 6200yl does not support PoE power.

These switches are designed to be used primarily as a high-density wiring closet or desktop switch. These switches can directly connect computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, the Series 3500yl Switches offer full network management capabilities.

Network Ports

■ 24 or 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T ports.

All these ports have the “HP Auto MDIX” feature, which means you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect any network devices to the switch.

■ On the Series 3500yl devices there are four dual-personality ports. Use

either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connector, or install a supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-optic connections.

1-4

The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X feature, which means you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect any network device to the switch.

Dual-Personality Port Operation. By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed in a slot, it is enabled and the associated RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot be used. If the mini-GBIC is removed, the associated RJ-45 port is automatically re-enabled.

The RJ-45 connector also supplies PoE power until a mini-GBIC is installed. The PoE power is turned off when a mini-GBIC is plugged in.

■ One, 10 gigabit expansion slot. These switches provide a single slot in the

back of the device that can accept a 4 x 10 gigabit transceiver module. The module provides four 10 gigabit ports. The module provides either copper or fiber optic media that conforms to the gigabit Ethernet standard as well as dual 10 gigabit copper or uplink ports.

yl Module Slot

These switches support one yl module. The yl module provides 4 ports:

■ two 10-GbE CX4 fixed copper ports

■ two 10-GbE flexible media slots that support a number of different

transceivers. See the ProCurve Switch yl Module Installation Guide for more information on supported transceivers.

Introducing the Switch

RPS and EPS Input Port

The Series 3500yl and 6200yl Switches support connectivity to a redundant power supply. The “ProCurve 620 Redundant and External Power Supply (RPS/EPS) is an accessory product for these Switches. The RPS/EPS provides redundant and additional PoE power to the switch products to back up the power supply in the switch in case of loss of AC or PoE power. Or If maximum PoE power is being used on all 48 ports, a 620 RPS/EPS will be necessary to provide full power to the second 24 ports, and in this case, there would be no redundancy.

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable supplied with the switch. This connection is described under “Connect a Console to the Switch” in chapter 2, “Installing the Switch.” The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. The console port is located on the front of the 3500yl-24G and 6200yl24G, and on the back of the 3500yl-48G.

Power Connector

The Series 3500yl and 6200yl Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. These switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100--240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

1-12

Introducing the Switch

Switch Features

The features of the Series 3500yl and 6200yl Switches include:

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

■ Four dual-personality ports—either the auto sensing 10/100/1000Base-T

RJ-45 or the mini-GBIC can be used for each port.

■ The 6200yl provides 24 mini-GBIC ports.

■ One slot (optional yl module slot) is provided in the back of the device to

support a series of transceivers to provide connectivity to other switch boxes, to a 10 Gig concentrator or to any Ethernet compatible uplink.

■ The auxiliary port is reserved for future development.

■ The Switches can be connected to a ProCurve RPS/EPS and receive

redundant power from that unit. If the internal power supply in the switch fails, the RPS/EPS unit will immediately provide all the power necessary to keep the switch running.

■ Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation—the 3500yl switches are IEEE

802.af compliant and provide up to 15.4 W per port to power IP phones, wireless access points, web cameras, and more. For more information, see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide for zl and yl Products.

■ 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 10/100/1000 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 another switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI; if the switch detects that an 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, (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—the mini-GBIC ports always operate at full duplex.

■ Easy management of the switch 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.

Introducing the Switch

Installing the Switch

Installation Procedures

Summary

1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-5). Ensure the physical environment 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 2-4 for some installation precautions.

2. Install or remove a yl module (optional—page 2-7).

3. Install or remove a transceiver (optional—(page 2-8). If you have installed a yl module, you can now install one or two transceivers.

4. Install or remove mini-GBICs (optional—page 2-9). The switch has four slots for installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you will mount the switch, it may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Mini-GBICs can be installed or removed while the switch is powered on.

5. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-11). Plug the switch into a power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel indicate correct switch operation. When self test is complete, unplug the switch.

6. Mount the switch (page 2-13). The Switch can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface.

7. Connect the switch to a power source (page 2-15). Once the switch is mounted, plug it into the nearby main power source.

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

9. Connect a 620 RPS/EPS (optional—page 2-18). You may wish to use a 620 RPS/EPS with your switch. To do so you must connect the external power supply using the RPS or EPS cables supplied with the 620 RPS/EPS.

10. Connect a console to the switch (optional—page 2-22). 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 easily by using the included console cable to connect a PC to the switch’s console port.

Installing the Switch

At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

2-3

Installing the Switch

Installation Procedures

Installation Precautions:

Follow these precautions when installing the Series 3500yl or 6200yl Switches.

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.

■ Neither the Right or Left sides of the switch can be placed down-

ward. (That is, the right or left side of the unit while facing the front.)

Cautions ■ If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, be sure to use only an HP 10K rack.

Mount the switch using rail kit part number 356578-B21 and shelf kit AB469A. Both kits must be used. Otherwise you will void the warranty.

■ Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the

power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.

Installing the Switch

■ If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied

with the switch and power supply, be sure 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 and power supply.

■ 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 55°C (131°F)

■ Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not

restricted.

If you are installing either of the Series 3500yl or 6200yl Switches with an X2 transceiver installed, the operating ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F). See transceiver specifications in the ProCurve Switch yl Module Installation Guide.

Installing the Switch

Installation Procedures

■ Installation Location - Before installing the switch, plan its location and

orientation relative to other devices and equipment:

• In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.

• In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space for the power cord.

• On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling, except if the switch is installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.

2. (Optional) Install or Remove a yl Module

Note Hot swapping modules is not supported. If a module is installed or removed

with the switch powered on, a reset will occur. Only insert or remove a module during scheduled downtime with the switch powered off.

1. Remove the cover plate

2. Insert the module aligning with the guides in the slot.

3. Once the contacts have engaged, use the extractor handles to seat the module completely.

4. Tighten the captive screws. Refer to the yl Module Installation Guide for more details.

Align the edges of the board with guides

Installation Procedures

3. (Optional) Install or Remove a Transceiver

Note Hot swapping transceivers is supported. You can install or remove a trans-

ceiver with the switch powered on, a reset will not occur.

a. Slide the transceiver in until it stops.

Figure 2-2. Installing a fiber optic transceiver.

b. Push firmly until the gasket seats against the bulkhead.

Bail

Figure 2-3. Securing a transceiver bail.

Note When switch power is on, the Link and Activity LEDs will come on for

approximately two seconds and then go off. This is confirmation the transceiver is completely seated.

c. If your transceiver has a bail, move the bail up, if not your transceiver is now completely installed. Refer to the ProCurve Switch yl Module Installa- tion Guide for more details.

To remove the transceiver:

If your transceiver has a bail, lower the bail until it is approximately horizontal, and then using the bail, pull the transceiver from the slot. If your transceiver does not have a bail, pull the transceiver straight out.
