Installation Procedures
Installing the HP 5400 zl
Switches
8.
Connect a Power Supply Shelf (optional
—
page 2-18
).
You may wish
to use a Power Supply Shelf with your switch. To do so you must connect
the external power supply using the EPS cables supplied with the Power
Supply Shelf.
9.
Connect the network devices (
page 2-21
).
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 2-21
.
N o t e
The 10/100/1000-T ports on the 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.
10.
Connect a console to the switch (optional
—
page 2-22
).
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.

Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions when installing your 5400 zl switch:
■
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low
as possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progres-
sively lighter devices installed above.
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it
from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
■
Ensure a cover plate is installed on any empty switch power
supply or module slot. A cover plate is required for safe
operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling. Never have
more than one power supply or module slot uncovered at a
time while the switch is powered on.
■
To avoid energy and mechanical hazards, never allow any part
of your body, jewelry, tool, or other foreign object to enter any
module or power supply slots.
■
This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully
power down the switch, you must disconnect all power supply
cables from the unit.
