Prepare the installation site. 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.
(Optional) Install the transceiver. The Switch 2124 has a slot for
installing an HP 100-FX SC Transceiver (HP J4853A). Depending on
where you will locate the Switch 2124, it may be easier to install the
transceiver first.
Verify that the switch passes its self test. This is a simple process of
plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs on
the switch's front panel show correct operation. See page 2-7.
Mount the switch. The Switch 2124 can be mounted in a 19-inch telco
rack or equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal surface.
Connect power to the switch. Once the switch is mounted, plug it in
to the nearby AC power source.
Connect the network devices. Using the appropriate network cables,
connect computers, printers, servers, hubs, other switches, routers, and
other network devices to the switch ports.
