HPE OfficeConnect 1920S Switch Series Installation and Getting Started Guide Abstract This guide provides detailed information on how to install and initially configure switches in the HPE OfficeConnect 1920S Switch Series. Part Number: 5200-2835a Published: August 2017 Edition: 1...
Switch overview Overview The HPE OfficeConnect 1920S Switch Series are multiport switches that can be used to build high- performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low latency for high-speed networking. Three of the switches also support the IEEE 802.3at standard for providing PoE+ power to connected devices.

State Meaning Blinking Indicates that there is network activity on the port.If the Link/Act LED is blinking simultaneously with the Fault/Locator LED, it indicates a fault on the port. The blinking behavior (1 second on, 1 second off) is the same as the Fault/Locator LED.

Installing the switch Installation overview The 1920S Switches are easy to install. They come with an accessory kit that includes the brackets for mounting the switches in a standard 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, and with rubber feet that can be attached so the switches can be securely located on a horizontal surface.

Transceivers not on the 1920S approved list are used at your own risk and may void support and warranty. Please see the HPE Warranty terms and conditions. At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.

NOTE: The 1920S 24- and 48-port switches do not have a power switch. They are powered on when the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source. For safety, the power outlet should be located near the switch installation. The switches automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-127 or 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz.
Port Link/Act LEDs Power and Fault/Locator LEDs Mode LED When the switch is powered on, it performs a diagnostic self test. The behavior of the LEDs is as follows: During the self test: • Initially, the Power, Fault/Locator, and all port LEDs turn on. •...
• under a table • in a rack or cabinet Rack or cabinet mounting The switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack or communication equipment cabinet. Note that the mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated allowing for a wide variety of mounting options.
Wall or under-table mounting You can mount the 1920S 24- and 48-port switches on a wall with either the front or rear panel facing up. WARNING: For safe operation, please read Installation precautions on page 14 before mounting the switch. Wall mount the switch with the network ports facing up or down.
1. In the required location, mark the position for the mounting screws. The hole-to-hole distance is 3.54 inch (90 mm). 2. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and two of the included 20-mm M4 tap screws. Set the screw heads approximately 2 mm away from the mounting surface to allow the switch to slide onto the screws.
Using a Kensington security cable To prevent unauthorized removal of the switch, you can use a Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the switch to an immovable object. 4. Connect the switch to a power source Procedure 1.

S F P P o rt s L in k /A S p e e d L in k /A S p e e d Removing the SFPs NOTE: You should disconnect the network cable from the SFP before removing it from the switch. To remove the SFPs that have the plastic tab or plastic collar, push the tab or collar toward the switch until you see the SFP release from the switch (you can see it move outward slightly), and then pull it from the slot.
Configuring the switch Initial configuration The 1920S Switch Series can be managed through a Web-browser interface that you can access from any PC or workstation connected to the switch. To access the Web interface, you must have the switch’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. In the factory default configuration, the IP address is automatically acquired from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service that is available on your network or from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
See the HPE OfficeConnect 1920S Switch Series Management and Configuration Guide for more switch configuration information. NOTE: If you cannot remember the switch’s IP address or password, you can restore the factory default settings by following the procedure described in Restoring to Factory Defaults.

Note on 1000BASE-T Cable Requirements. The Category 5 networking cables that work for 100BASE- TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, as long as all four-pairs are connected. But, for the most robust connections, you should use cabling that complies with the Category 5e specifications, as described in Addendum 5 to the TIA-568-A standard (ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5).
NOTE: Most of the time, if you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber cable that adheres to the standards listed in this appendix, there should not be a need to use mode conditioning patch cords in your network. This is especially true if the fiber runs in your network are relatively short. Installing the Patch Cord As shown in the illustration below, connect the patch cord to the transceiver with the section of single mode fiber plugged in to the Tx (transmit) port.
have to use crossover cables, although crossover cables can also be used for any of the connections. (The 10/100/1000-T ports support the IEEE 802.3ab standard, which includes the “Auto-MDIX” feature.) If you connect a switch twisted-pair port to another switch or hub, which typically have MDI-X ports, the switch port automatically operates as an MDI port.
