Installing the switch
Included parts
WARNINGS
Cautions
■ When you mount PS1810-8G Switch under HP ProLiant MicroServer
Gen8s, do not stack more than two servers on top of the switch.
■ Before you mount the PS1810-24G Switch in a rack or cabinet, ensure the
rack or cabinet is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable
and falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet must be mounted as low as possible,
with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices
installed at the top.
■ When you mount the switch on the wall, ensure that the network ports are
facing up or down to meet national and international safety requirements.
The side vents cannot be placed facing up or down.
■ When installing the switch, ensure that the AC outlet is located near the switch
and is 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, might 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 chord
that has the symbol 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.
■ 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 the 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 indicated on the devices near the AC
power connectors.
■ Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 40C (104 F).
■ Ensure the air flow around the sides of the switch is not restricted.

Installation procedure
Installation procedure
The following steps summarize switch installation. The rest of this chapter provides
details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-5). Ensure that the physical environment
into which you will install the switch is properly prepared. The environment
must have the correct network cabling ready to connect to the switch and have
an appropriate location for the switch. See page 2-5 for some installation
precautions.
2. Mount the switch (page 2-5). The PS1810-8G Switch is designed to be stacked
with an HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8. You can mount the switch on a wall or,
under or on top of a horizontal surface. The PS1810-24G Switch can be mounted
in a 19-inch Telco rack; in an equipment cabinet, on a wall or; under or on top
of a horizontal surface.
3. Connect the network devices (page 2-14). Using the appropriate network
cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
4. Optional: Install the SFP transceivers for the PS1810-24G Switch (page 2-
14). The PS1810-24G Switch has two slots for installing SFP transceivers.
Depending on where you install the switch, it might be easier to install the SFPs
first. SFPs can be hot swapped - you can install or remove while the switch is
powered on.

1. Install two 3/4-inch (19 mm) M4 screws (included) into the mounting surface.
The base of the screw head should be distanced approximately 2 mm from the
wall face. Position the screws 6.3 inches (160 mm) apart for the PS1810-8G
Switch. Use the wall anchors if necessary.
2. Position the switch over the screws and slide to lock in place.
3. Optional: Install the third screw at the side of the switch to prevent it from sliding
out of the locked position.
