Switch overview
The PS1810-8G and PS1810-24G switches are multiport managed gigabit switches
that enable you to build high-performance switched workgroup networks and to work
with HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers. These switches are store-and-forward devices that
offer low latency for high-speed networking.
Throughout this manual, these switches are referred as the PS1810-8G and PS1810-
24G Switches.
■ The PS1810-8G Switch has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports.
Port 1 is a Power over Ethernet Powered Device (PoE PD) port. The switch can
be powered by a network connection to port 1 from PoE power sourcing
equipment (PSE), such as a PoE switch.
■ The PS1810-24G Switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports
and two SFP slots (ports 25 and 26) for supported HP SFP fiber-optic
transceivers.
■ The PS1810-8G switch has a unique enclosure that allows physical stacking on
the HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 product.
You can connect these switches directly to computers, printers, and servers to provide
dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched network
infrastructure by connecting these switches to hubs, other switches, or routers. The
PS1810 switches have the built-in technology that reports real-time health status for
each Gen8 Server in the network. In addition, these switches offer limited network
management capabilities as well.
