Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/24

Task 2: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Ethernet

Hub (Optional)

The HAFM server and one or more switches connect through an Ethernet hub
installed on a 10/100 Mbps LAN segment. One hub port is required to connect the
HAFM server, and one hub port is required to connect each switch. A combination of
up to 48 HP products can be configured and managed by a single HAFM server,
therefore multiple hubs may be required to provide sufficient port connections. These
hubs must be connected in accordance with the hub manufacturer's specifications. HP
recommends using a star or hub-and-spoke topology when connecting multiple hubs.
The HAFM server must be connected to the center hub, and there should never be
more than two hubs between the HAFM server and any switch. Refer to the hub
manufacturer's documentation for more detailed information.
For instructions to unpack and inspect one or more Ethernet hubs, and install the hubs
in a desktop or rack-mount configuration, refer to the appropriate Ethernet hub
documentation.

Task 3: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Switch

This section describes how to unpack and inspect the Edge Switch 2/24, and install it
in a desktop or rack-mount configuration.

Unpack and Inspect the Switch

Unpack and inspect the switch:
CAUTION: When you remove the switch from the carton, do not rest it on its rear
window while examining it. To do so may break the FRU handles.
1. Inspect the shipping containers for damage caused during transit. If a container is
damaged, ensure a representative from the freight carrier is present when the
container is opened.
2. Unpack the shipping containers and inspect each item for damage. Save all
shipping and packing materials. Ensure that all items on the enclosed shipping list
are in each container.
3. If any items are damaged or missing, customers should contact a Hewlett-Packard
authorized service provider or reseller.
