Installing the HP 5400R zl2
Switches
7. Connect the switch to a power source (page 2-22). Once the switch
is mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source.
8. Connect the network devices (page 2-22). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect other switches, hubs, routers, computers,
servers, printers, and other network devices to the switch ports. For more
information, see “Connect the Network Devices” on page 2-22.
Note The 10/100/1000-T ports on the v2 zl Modules comply with IEEE 802.3x
standard which includes the Auto MDI/MDI-X feature. This feature
allows you to use straight-through twisted-pair cable for all of your
twisted-pair network connections.
9. Connect a console to the switch (optional—page 2-23). You may wish
to modify the switch’s configuration, for example, to configure an IP
address so it can be managed using a web browser or from an SNMP
network management station. Configuration changes can be made easily
through the switch’s console interface.
At this point, the switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you
need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
