Installing the Switch

Installation Procedures

Direct Console Access

To connect a console to the

switch, follow these steps:

1. Connect the PC or

terminal to the switch’s

Console Port using the

console cable included

with the switch. (If your

PC or terminal has a 25-pin

serial connector, first

attach a 9-pin to 25-pin

straight-through adapter

at one end of the console

cable.)

2. Turn on the terminal or

PC’s power and, if using a

PC, start the PC terminal

program.

3. Press

[Enter] two or three

times and you will see the copyright page and the message “Press any key

to continue”. Press a key, and you will then see the switch console

command (CLI) prompt, for example:

ProCurve Switch #

If you want to continue with console management of the switch at this time,

see chapter 3, “Getting Started With Switch Configuration” for some basic

configuration steps. For more detailed information, refer to the Management

and Configuration Guide, which is on the HP Web site at

www.hp.com/

networking/support, (See page 1-14).
