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 2-4
).
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 having a good location for the switch.
Please see page
2-3 for some installation precautions.
2.
Install switch module
(optional—page 2-6)
.
The switches have a slot
for installing any of the supported HP switch modules. Depending on
where you will install the switch, it may be easier to install the module
first, but the modules are “hot swappable”—they can also be installed and
removed after the switch is installed and powered on.
3.
Verify that the switch passes self test (
page 2-8
).
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 any optional modules indicate
correct switch operation.
4.
Mount the switch (
page 2-10
).
The Switch 1600M and 2424M can be
mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on
a horizontal surface.
5.
Connect power to the switch (
page 2-13
).
Once the switch is
mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source.
6.
Connect the network devices (
page 2-14
).
Using the appropriate
network cables, connect other switches, hubs, routers, computers,
servers, printers, and other network devices to the switch ports.
7.
Connect a console to the switch (
optional—page 2-15
).
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 to the switch console.
Configuration changes can be made easily by using the included console
cable to connect a PC to the switch’s console port.
At this point, the switch is fully installed and your network should be up and
running. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on
any of these installation steps.
