Switches
Installation Procedures
Summary
Follow these easy steps to install your switch. The rest of this chapter provides
details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-7). Make sure the physical
environment into which you will be installing the switch is properly
prepared including having the correct network cabling ready to connect
to the switch, and having a good location for the switch. See
page 2-6 for
some installation precautions.
2. Install switch modules (page 2-7). The 5400zl switches have six or 12
universal slots for installing any of the HP ProCurve Switch zl modules.
Some of the 5406zl and 5412zl switches come with preinstalled modules.
Depending on where you will install your 5400zl switch, it may be easier
to install the modules first. The modules are “hot swappable” though, so
they can also be installed and removed after the switch is powered on.
Note Make sure you use only HP ProCurve Switch zl Modules in your 5400zl
switches.
3. Install power supplies (page 2-10). The 5406zl switches supports up to
two power supplies. It may be easier to install the power supplies before
mounting the switch. The switch must have at least one power supply to
operate.
4. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-13). This is a simple process
of plugging the switch into a power source and observing that the LEDs
on the switch’s front panel and on the modules show correct operation.
It may be easier to verify if the switch passes self test before mounting
the switch.
5. Mount the switch (page 2-15). The 5400zl switches can be mounted in
a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, or on a horizontal surface.
An optional Rail Mounting Kit (5070-0145) is available for mounting 5400zl
switches in a cabinet suitable for shipping. See the installation details for
more information.
6. Install the Grounding Wire (page 2-18). If a grounding wire is to be
attached to the switch chassis, the grounding lug must be removed and a
wire crimped to it and the grounding lug must be reinstalled.
