Install the Switch Hardware (Continued)
Rack Mounting: A rack-mounting kit is included with your switch. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver to attach the
rack brackets to the switch using the eight 8-mm M4 screws. Then use the four number 12-24 screws to secure the brackets
to the rack.
5.
(Optional) Lock the Switch. Use a Kensington lock or similar
device (not included) to physically secure the switch.
6
. Power On the Switch and Secure the Power Connector.
Use the cable tie in the accessory kit, and the retention tab on the
switch, to secure the power connector.
7
. Connect Network Cables.
Note: For transceiver connections, use only HP-supported SFP
transceivers. See "SFP Installation Notes" on page 3.
8
. (Optional) Configure the Switch for Management.
By factory default, the switch will automatically obtain its IP
network configuration from a DHCP or BootP server. Subsequently,
you can determine the IP address assigned to the switch by
inspecting your DHCP/BootP server, or by using LLDP from a
connected device.
You can also manage and configure the switch through a console
port connection. Connect a VT-100 terminal or PC (with suitable
terminal emulation software) to the switch using the serial cable
(DB-9 and RJ-45 connectors) supplied with the switch.
* Note: You can also connect a console to the switch via the USB
console port (cable not provided). Use a USB 2.0 high-speed cable
with a male type A (4-pin) to male micro-B (5-pin) connector.
Maximum allowable length is 5m. For more information on using
the USB console port, see the Installation and Getting Started
Guide for your switch.
