    The rack or workbench is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories. • • The rack or workbench is reliably grounded. To ensure correct operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsections.
  • Page 7 Inductance coupling. • • Electromagnetic wave radiation. Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. • To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines: If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to • filter interference from the power grid. Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency •...
  • Page 8: Installing The Switch

    WARNING! Before installing or moving the switch, remove the power cord. You can install an HP 1920 switch in a 19-inch rack, on a workbench, or on a wall. Mounting the switch in a 19-inch rack by using mounting brackets The HP 1620-24G and HP 1620-48G switches have the same width.

  • Page 10: Mounting The Switch On A Workbench

    Mounting the switch on a wall Only the HP 1620-8G switch can be installed on a wall. The type of screws used to mount the switch on the wall depends on the wall type. This section uses a concrete wall as an example.
  • Page 11 Figure 7 Hole spacing Insert one wall anchor into each hole until the anchors are flush with the wall surface. Drive one screw into each wall anchor, and tighten the screws just enough to keep it secure in the wall anchor. Leave a minimum clearance of 1.5 mm (0.06 in) between the base of the screw head and the wall anchor so the switch can hang on the screws securely.
  • Page 12: Connecting Cables

    Connecting cables Connecting network cable Use crossover cable or straight through cable to connect a PC or other network devices to the Ethernet port of the switch. Figure 10 Connecting network cable Connecting the console cable To connect a terminal (for example, a PC) to the switch: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
  • Page 13: Connecting The Ac Power Cord

    NOTE: To disconnect the console cable, remove the RJ-45 connector of the cable and then the DB-9 female connector. Connecting the AC power cord Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the grounding screw on the rear panel, and connect the other end to the ground.
