Installing the HP 1405 Switches
Installation Procedures
4. Connect the Switch to a Power Source
1. 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, as shown in Figure
2-1 on page 2-4.
2. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED Behavior” on page 2-6.
Caution Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord (if applicable), supplied
with the switch. Use of other adapters or power cords, including those that
came with other HP networking products, may result in damage to the
equipment.
5. Connect the Network Cables
Connect the network cables, described under “Cabling Infrastructure” (page
2-3), from the network devices or your patch panels to the fixed RJ-45 ports
on the switch.
Using the RJ-45 Connectors
To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45
port until the tab on the plug clicks
into place. When power is on for
the switch and for the connected
device, the Port Status LED for the
port should light to confirm a
powered-on device (for example,
an end node) is at the other end of
the cable.
If the Port Status LED does not go
on when the network cable is
connected to the port, see
“Diagnosing with the LEDs” in
chapter 3, “Troubleshooting”.
To disconnect:
Press the small tab on the plug and
pull the plug out of the port.
