Installation Procedures
Summary
Follow these easy steps to install your switch. The rest of this chapter provides
details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site ( page 2-8 ). Make sure the physical
environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly
prepared including having the correct network cabling ready to connect
to the switch, and having a good location for the switch. See
page 2-7 for
some installation precautions.
2. Install switch modules ( page 2-8 ). The 5400R zl2 switches have six or
12 universal slots for installing any of the HP Switch v2 zl or v3 zl2
modules. Some of the 5406R zl2 and 5412R zl2 switches come with
preinstalled modules. Depending on where you will install your 5400R zl2
switch, it may be easier to install the modules first. The modules are “hot
swappable” though, so they can also be installed and removed after the
switch is powered on.
N o t e
Make sure you use only HP Switch v2 zl or v3 zl2 Modules in your 5400R
zl2 switches. HP switch vl zl modules are not supported.
3. Install power supplies ( page 2-12 ). The 5406R zl2 and 5412R zl2
switches supports up to two power supplies. It may be easier to install the
power supplies after mounting the switch. The switch must have at least
one power supply to operate.
4. Verify the switch passes self test ( page 2-14 ). This is a simple process
of plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs
on the switch’s front panel and on the modules show correct operation.
It may be easier to verify if the switch passes self test before mounting
the switch.
5. Mount the switch ( page 2-16 ). The 5400R zl2 switches can be mounted
in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface.
An optional HP X450 4U/7U Universal 4-Post Rack Mounting Kit (J9852A)
is available for mounting 5400R zl2 switches in a cabinet. However, if you
want to ship in a cabinet or rack, its recommended to use the 4-post kit
in a HP rack. See the installation details for more information.
6. Install the Grounding Wire ( page 2-20 ). If a grounding wire is to be
attached to the switch chassis, the grounding lug must be removed and a
wire crimped to it and the grounding lug must be reinstalled.
