  • Page 7: Introducing The Switch 408

    Introducing the Switch 408 The HP ProCurve Switch 408 is a multiport switch that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high- speed networking. HP ProCurve Switch 408 (HP J4097B) Throughout this manual, the name of this switch will be abbreviated as the Switch 408.

    Installing the Switch 408 Installation Procedures Installation Procedures Summary Follow these easy steps to install your switch. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps. Prepare the installation site. Make sure of the following: • the network cabling is the correct type and length. See page 2-5.

  • Page 15: Installation Precautions

    Installing the Switch 408 Installation Procedures Installation Precautions: Follow these precautions when installing your Switch 408. Cautions Make sure that you use the power adapter supplied with the switch to connect it to an AC power source. When installing the switch, since the unit does not have an On/Off power switch, an AC power outlet must be located near the switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch needs to be powered off.
  • Page 16 Installing the Switch 408 Installation Procedures Connect no devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration. Because the switch 408 complies with the IEEE 802.3u standard, if a device connected to the switch has a fixed configuration of full duplex, the device will not connect correctly to the switch.

  • Page 17: Prepare The Installation Site

    Cabling Infrastructure - Make sure that the cabling infrastruc- ture meets the necessary network specifications. Because of the HP Auto-MDIX feature, for connections to end nodes (computers, servers, printers and other peripherals), or connec- tions to hubs or other switches, you can use “straight-through”...

    Troubleshooting Diagnosing With the LEDs In addition, you should make sure that your network topology contains no data path loops. Between any two end nodes, there should be only one active cabling path at any time. Data path loops will cause broadcast storms that will severely impact your network performance.
