Summary
Follow these steps to install your switch. Details for each of the steps
highlighted below are provided in the rest of the chapter.
1. Preparing the installation site ( page 2-7 ). Make sure that 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 establishing a good location for the switch.
2. Mounting the chassis ( page 2-9 ). A ProCurve Switch 8100fl is mounted
in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. To avoid personal injury, reduce the
weight of the chassis by removing all hardware components, (such as all
module blanks, power supplies, fan trays, and so on) from the chassis
before moving and installing it in a rack.
3. Installing fan trays ( page 2-15 ). ProCurve 8100fl switches come with
two fan trays to provide cooling for the switch. The fan tray assembly is
located above the power supply, just below the vertical module slots.
4. Installing modules ( page 2-16 ). There are three types of modules in each
ProCurve Switch 8100fl: fabric, management, and interface modules.
You must install at least one switch fabric module and one management
module to operate the switch. In addition, the interface modules provide
various network connectivity options (see the
ProCurve Switch fl
Modules Installation Guide for details):
• The X2 10-GbE modules (J8736A and J8737A) require that you install
a transceiver (see page 4-9 ).
• The 10-Port mini-GBIC module requires that you install mini-GBICs
(see page 4-15 ).
5. Installing power supplies ( page 2-24 ). There are three power supply
slots in the Switch 8108fl and Switch 8116fl. The Switch 8108fl is shipped
with one AC power supply; the Switch 8116fl is shipped with two AC
power supplies.
