Note Installing the Switch 5300xl Series 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 2-6). Make sure that 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. Please see page 2-5 for some installation precautions. 2. Install switch modules (page 2-8). The Switch 5300xl Series have four or eight universal slots for installing any of the ProCurve Switch xl modules. The Switch 5372xl has three 24-port 10/100-TX xl Modules preinstalled, and the Switch 5348xl has two 24-port 10/100-TX xl Modules preinstalled. Depending on where you will install your Series 5300xl 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. Make sure you use only ProCurve Switch xl Modules in your Switch 5300xl Series. 3. (Optional) Install second power supply (page 2-10). The Switch 5300xl Series 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 the switch passes self test (page 2-12). 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 2-14). The Switch 5300xl Series 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. 2-3 Installing the Switch 5300xl Series
