Introducing the HP Switch 2224 Front of the Switch Mode Select Button and Indicator LEDs To optimize the amount of information that can be displayed for each of the switch ports without overwhelming you with LEDs, the Switch 2224 uses a Mode LED for each port.
Introducing the HP Switch 2224 Back of the Switch Back of the Switch AC power connector Power Connector The Switch 2224 does not have a power switch; it is powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The switch automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz.
The features of the Switch 2224 include: 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports a slot for installing an HP 100Base-FX Transceiver Module (HP J3193B) plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the network cables to active network devices and your switched network is operational automatic learning of the hardware addresses in the switch’s 12000-entry...
Introducing the HP Switch 2224 Switch Operation Overview flood - whenever a new destination address is found in a packet received on a port, the destination address will not yet be in the switch’s address table and the Switch 2224 cannot know whether to forward or filter out the packet.
Installing the Switch 2224 The HP Switch 2224 is easy to install. It comes with an accessory kit that includes the brackets for mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch telco rack or an equipment cabinet, or on a wall, and with rubber feet that can be attached so the switch can be securely located on a horizontal surface.
(Optional) Install the transceiver module. The Switch 2224 has a slot for installing an HP 100Base-FX fiber-optic transceiver module (HP J3193B). Depending on where you will locate the Switch 2224, it may be easier to install the transceiver first.
Installing the Switch 2224 Installation Procedures Installation Precautions: Follow these precautions when installing your HP Switch 2224. 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.
Installing the Switch 2224 Installation Procedures 1. Prepare the Installation Site Cabling Infrastructure - Ensure that the cabling infrastructure meets the necessary network specifications. See the following table for cable types and lengths, and see appendix B, “Cables and Connectors” for more information: Table 2-1.
Installing the Switch 2224 Installation Procedures 2. Install An Optional Transceiver Install an optional transceiver module into the transceiver slot as shown in the illustration below, or by following the instructions in the manual that comes with the transceiver. The slot cover can be removed with either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screw- driver.
Installing the Switch 2224 Installation Procedures 3. Verify the Switch Operates Correctly After you have optionally installed a transceiver module, but before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first check that it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying that it passes its self test.

Installing the Switch 2224 Installation Procedures 4. Mount the Switch After a transceiver has been installed and you have verified that the switch passes its self test, you are ready to mount the switch in a stable location. The Switch 2224 can be mounted in these ways: in a rack or cabinet on a horizontal surface on a wall...

Tighten these screws. install additional screw Wall Mounting You can mount the switch on a wall as shown in the illustration below. C a u t i o n The switch should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent.
Installing the Switch 2224 Installation Procedures Attach the switch to the wall or wood surface with 5/8-inch number 12 wood screws (not included). 5/8-inch wood screw Horizontal Surface Mounting Attach the rubber feet included in the accessory kit to the bottom of the switch, then place the switch on a table or other horizontal surface.
Installing the Switch 2224 Installation Procedures 6. Connect the Network Cables Using the RJ-45 Connectors (10/100Base-TX ports) To connect: Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 jack until the tab on the plug clicks into place. When power is on for the switch and for the connected device, the Link LED for the port should light to confirm a powered-on device (for...
Installing the Switch 2224 Sample Network Topologies Sample Network Topologies This section shows you a few sample network topologies in which the Switch 2224 is implemented. As a Desktop Switch Server Switch 2224 twisted-pair “straight-through” cables PCs and peripherals The Switch 2224 is designed to be used primarily as a desktop switch to which end nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly connected, as shown in the above illustration.
The simpler desktop and segment networks shown in the previous two examples can easily be combined and expanded. For example, you could use an HP ProCurve Switch 8000M to interconnect each of your smaller switched workgroups to form a larger switched network. All the devices in this network can communicate with each other.
