Installation
2 - 19
CAUTION:There is no separate on/off power switch for the device. The device is powered on when the power
cord is connected to a power supply and to a power source. To turn the system off, simply unplug the power
cord(s).
CAUTION:The power sockets should be installed near the device and should be easily accessible.
CAUTION: If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, be sure to use
a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country.
The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the system.
NOTE: When you power on a Chassis device that requires multiple power supplies, make sure you apply power
to all the supplies (or at least the minimum number of supplies required for your configuration) at the same time.
Otherwise, the device either will not boot at all, or will boot and then repeatedly display a warning message stating
that you need to add more power supplies.
1. Ensure that all modules and power supplies are properly inserted, and that no module slots or power supply
slots are uncovered.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Never allow any part of your body to be inside the chassis when the device
is connected to a power source or to the network.
2. Remove the power cord from the shipping package.
3. Attach the AC power cord to the AC connector on the front panel of the Chassis device. If more than one
power supply is installed, attach a power cord for each power supply.
4. Insert the power cord plug(s) into the appropriate outlet(s).
Connecting Network Devices
HP Routing Switches can support connections to other vendors’ routers, switches, and hubs as well as to other
HP Routing Switches and hubs.
Important! Cable Grounding Instructions
HP provides a cable-grounding kit for use with HP 9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M chassis modules designed for
UTP copper networking cable connections. Use this grounding kit to help prevent ESD damage to your Routing
Switch components when connecting cables to the modules.
CAUTION: Before connecting Category 5 or better UTP copper networking cables to a chassis module on the HP
9304M or HP 9308M, use the CESD grounding tap (shipped with the HP 9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M and
with chassis modules designed for UTP copper networking cables). See the
Cable Grounding Instructions
included with the CESD grounding tap. If you did not receive a CESD grounding tap kit (HP part number 5064-
9974) with the above HP products, you can request one without charge from your HP Customer Care Center
(CCC). To contact the CCC for your area, see the support and warranty booklet (
Support is as Close as the World
Wide Web!
) shipped with your HP product. CCCs are also listed in the
HP ProCurve Networking Service and
Support Guide
available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve. (Click on Technical Support, then Support
Services.)
