Installing the switch

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.

5. Connect the switch to the AC power source. Once the switch is mounted and

connected to the network devices, plug it into the main power source.

At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need

detailed information about any of these installation steps.
