1 Switch Overview The HPE OfficeConnect 1820 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.
LAN Access Points, and other appliances to receive power as well as data over existing LAN cabling. For further information regarding PoE power, see the HPE Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Web site at www.hpe.com/support/hpesc.
LEDs The front panel of the switch provides status LEDs for system monitoring. The following table details the functions of the various indicators. State Meaning Power The switch is receiving power. (green) Blinking* (1820 8G only) Power is available on the PoE In port (Port 1). The switch is NOT receiving power.
The features of the 1820 Switches include: 8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. 2 or 4 SFP slots for HPE SFP transceivers (1820 24G, 1820 24G-PoE+, 1820 48G, and 1820 48G-PoE+ Switches only) plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the network cables to active network devices and your switched network is operational.

support for up to 64 IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLANs so you can divide the attached end nodes into logical groupings that fit your business needs. support for up to 16 trunks (48-port switches) so you can assign physical links to one logical link (trunk) that functions as a single, higher-speed link providing dramatically increased bandwidth.
2 Installing the Switch The 1820 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. The brackets are designed to allow mounting of the switches in a variety of locations and orientations.

Installation Precautions Follow these precautions when installing the switch. WARNING! 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 devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
Installation Procedure These steps summarize your switch installation. The rest of this chapter provides details on these steps. Prepare the installation site – see “1. Prepare the Installation Site” (page 18). Make sure 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 an appropriate location for the switch.
2. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test Before mounting the switch, verify it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and confirming that it passes self test. For the 1820 24- and 48-port switches, connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Page 20
NOTE: The 1820 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.
Page 21
When the self test completes successfully: The Power LED remains on. The Fault/Locator LED stays off. The port LEDs on the front of the switch go into their normal operational mode: ◦ If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link/Act LEDs stay on or may be blinking to indicate port activity.
3. Mount the Switch The switch can be mounted in these ways: on a horizontal surface on a wall 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.
Page 23
Hold the switch with attached brackets in the rack and move it vertically until rack holes line up with the bracket holes, then insert and tighten the four 12-24 screws holding the brackets to the rack. Wall or Under-Table Mounting You can mount the 1820 24- and 48-port switches on a wall with either the front or rear panel facing up.
Page 24
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. Wall anchors are included in the accessory kit for use with plastered brick or concrete walls. For under-table mounting, a third 20-mm M4 tap screw can be placed against one side of the switch to secure it in place.
4. Connect the Switch to a Power Source For the 1820 24-port and 48-port switches, plug the included power cord into the switch’s power connector and into a nearby AC power source. For the 1820 8-port switches, plug the AC/DC adapter’s power cord into the switch, and then plug the AC/DC power adapter into a nearby AC power source.

You should disconnect the network cable from the SFP before removing it from the switch. Depending on when you purchased your HPE SFP, it may have either of three different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of the SFP, a plastic collar around the SFP, or a wire bail.

Single mode fiber 9/125 μm (core/cladding) diameter, low metal content fiber-optic cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652 andISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
The patch cord consists of a short length of single mode fiber cable coupled to graded-index multimode fiber cable on the transmit side, and only multimode cable on the receive side. The section of single mode fiber is connected in such a way that it minimizes the effects of the differential mode delay in the multimode cable.
NOTE: Using Fixed Configurations. If the port configuration is changed to any of the fixed configurations though, for example 100 Mbps/full duplex, the port operates as MDI-X only and the correct cable type must be used: for connections to MDI ports, such as end nodes, use a straight-through cable;...
