during the transfer.

media, and requires a minimum of two people to safely slide it from one surface to another.
Installing the switch on a flat surface
Use these steps to install the switch on a flat surface.
NOTE: The switch must be placed on a stable, flat surface, with the blower side of the chassis
having access to cool air. Orient the switch so that the port side faces the service aisle.
1. Remove the switch chassis door, if you have not already done so. See ”Removing the chassis
door” on page 40.
2. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface like a table or lab bench.
3. Connect the two power cables to the power supply inlets on the switch.
TIP: HP recommends powering the switch using two separate power sources to ensure redundancy.
4. Connect the two power cables to corresponding power outlets. Make sure that the power cables
are routed so that they are not exposed to stress.
5. Turn on power to the switch.
The switch automatically runs a Power On Self Test (POST).
NOTE: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is set correctly.
6. Reinstall the chassis door as described in the section ”Reinstalling the chassis door” on page 52.
