  • Page 16: Simultaneous Network Communications

    Introducing the HP ProCurve Switch 212M and 224M Switch Operation Overview Simultaneous Network Communications In addition to traffic isolation benefits provided by the Switch 212M/224M address table operation, the switch also enhances network performance because it can conduct multiple, simultaneous network connections. Instead of sharing the network bandwidth, as in connections to a hub, each connection has its own 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps bandwidth to use.

  • Page 17: Installing The Switch 212M And 224M

    Installing the Switch 212M and 224M The HP Switch 212M and 224M are easy to install.

  • Page 19: Installation Precautions

    Installation Precautions: Follow these precautions when installing your HP Switch 212M or Switch 224M. W a r n i n g The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over. Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.

  • Page 20: Prepare The Installation Site

    In the front of the switch, leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of space for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling. In the back, leave at least 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) of space for the power cord.

  • Page 21: Install An Optional Transceiver

    If you do not install an optional transceiver, make sure that the cover plate is still attached over the slot for safe operation and proper switch cooling.

  • Page 22: Verify The Switch Operates Correctly

    If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.

  • Page 23: Led Behavior

    When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. The test completes in approximately 20 seconds. LED Behavior: During the self test: Initially, all LEDs are on, except the Fdx mode indicator LED. The two • 100 LEDs are also not on initially, but turn on after a few seconds. This allows you to verify that all the LEDs are working.

  • Page 24: Mount The Switch

    Installation Procedures 4. Mount the Switch After you have verified that the switch passes self test, you are ready to power it off and mount the switch in a stable location. The Switch 212M/224M can be mounted in a variety of ways:...
