Installing the Series 4100gl Switches Installing the Series 4100gl Switches Installation Procedures 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 2-5). Ensure the physical environ­ ment 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. Please see page 2-3 for some installation precautions. 2. Install switch modules (page 2-7). The Series 4100gl Switches have four or eight universal slots for installing any of the HP ProCurve Switch gl modules. The Switch 4108gl Bundle has three 24-port 10/100-TX gl Modules and one 3-port Transceiver gl Module preinstalled, and the Switch 4148gl has two 24-port 10/100-TX gl Modules preinstalled. Depending on where you will install your Series 4100gl 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 gl Modules in your Series 4100gl Switches. 3. (Optional) Install second power supply (page 2-9). The Series 4100gl Switches have a slot in the back for installing a second, load-sharing power supply. If you have purchased this supply, it may be easier to install it before mounting the switch. 4. Verify that the switch passes self test (page 2-11). 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. 5. Mount the switch (page 2-13). The Series 4100gl Switches can be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal surface. Note that there are some limitations to the wall mounting orientations that are supported. Please see the installation details for more information. 6. Connect power to the switch (page 2-18). Once the switch is mounted, plug it in to the nearby main power source. 2-2

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 2-5
).
Ensure the physical environ-
ment 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.
Please see
page 2-3
for
some installation precautions.
2.
Install switch modules (
page 2-7
).
The Series 4100gl Switches have
four or eight universal slots for installing any of the HP ProCurve Switch
gl modules. The Switch 4108gl Bundle has three 24-port 10/100-TX gl
Modules and one 3-port Transceiver gl Module preinstalled, and the
Switch 4148gl has two 24-port 10/100-TX gl Modules preinstalled.
Depending on where you will install your Series 4100gl 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 gl Modules in
your Series 4100gl Switches.
3.
(Optional) Install second power supply (
page 2-9
).
The Series 4100gl
Switches have a slot in the back for installing a second, load-sharing
power supply. If you have purchased this supply, it may be easier to install
it before mounting the switch.
4.
Verify that the switch passes self test (
page 2-11
).
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.
5.
Mount the switch (
page 2-13
).
The Series 4100gl Switches can be
mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on
a horizontal surface.
Note that there are some limitations to the wall
mounting orientations that are supported.
Please see the installation
details for more information.
6.
Connect power to the switch (
page 2-18
