Installing the Series 5400zl

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 2-9). The Series 5400zl Switches have six

or 12 universal slots for installing any of the ProCurve Switch zl modules.

The Switch 5406zl-48G has two 24-port 10/1001000-T zl Modules

preinstalled and the 5412zl-96G has four 24-port 10/1001000-T zl Modules

preinstalled. Depending on where you will install your Series 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 ProCurve Switch zl Modules in your Series 5400zl

Switches.

3. Install power supplies (page 2-12). The Series 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 2-15). 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 2-17). The Series 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 Series 5400zl Switches in a cabinet suitable for shipping. See

the installation details for more information.

6. Install the Grounding Wire (page 2-21). 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.
