Installing the Series 4100gl Switches Installing the Series 4100gl Switches Installation Procedures 7. Connect the network devices (page 2-18). 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 2-18. Note: The 10/100Base-TX ports on the 10/100-TX gl Module have the HP Auto-MDIX feature, and the 100/1000Base-T ports on the 100/1000-T gl Module comply with IEEE 802.3x standard which includes the Auto MDI/MDI-X feature. These two features operate the same and allow you to use straight-through twisted-pair cable for all of your twisted-pair network connections. 8. (Optional) Connect a console to the switch (page 2-19). 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. Warnings Installation Precautions Follow these precautions when installing your HP Series 4100gl Switch: ■ Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively 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 slot. A cover plate is required for safe operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling. ■ 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.

Installing the Series 4100gl Switches
Installation Procedures
7.
Connect the network devices (
page 2-18
).
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 2-18
.
Note:
The 10/100Base-TX ports on the 10/100-TX gl Module have the
HP Auto-MDIX
feature, and the 100/1000Base-T ports on the 100/1000-T
gl Module comply with IEEE 802.3x standard which includes the
Auto
MDI/MDI-X
feature. These two features operate the same and allow you
to use straight-through twisted-pair cable for all of your twisted-pair
network connections.
8.
(Optional) Connect a console to the switch (
page 2-19
).
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 HP Series 4100gl 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 slot. A cover plate is required for safe operation, and
to ensure proper switch cooling.
■
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.
