19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, under a table, or on a horizontal surface. The HP 1820 8-port switches can be mounted on a wall, under a table, or on a horizontal surface.
Before mounting the switch, verify it is working properly by plugging it into a power source and confirming that it passes self test. For the HP 1820 24- and 48-port switches, connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Page 21
AC power outlet N o t e The HP 1820 24- and 48-port switches do not have a power switch. They are powered on when the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source.
Page 22
Installing the Switch Installation Procedure The HP 1820 8-port switches also do not have a power switch. They are powered on when the external AC/DC power adapter is connected to the switch and the adapter power cord to a power source. The external AC/DC power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz.
Installing the Switch Installation Procedure • The Fault/Locator LED turns off when the self test completes. When the self test completes successfully: • The Power LED remains on. The Fault/Locator LED stays off. • • The port LEDs on the front of the switch go into their normal opera- tional mode: If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link/Act –...

Troubleshooting Diagnosing with the LEDs Diagnosing with the LEDs The first section shows LED patterns on the switch that indicate problem conditions for general switch operation troubleshooting. The second section shows LED patterns that indicate problem conditions for PoE troubleshooting. LED patterns for General Switch Troubleshooting Check in the table below for the LED pattern you see on your switch.
Try power cycling the switch. If the fault indication reoccurs, the switch port may which the Link LED is have failed. To confirm, try a different port that appears to be good. Call your HP- blinking has authorized network reseller, or use the electronic support services from HP to get experienced a self test assistance.
Troubleshooting Diagnosing with the LEDs LED Patterns for PoE Troubleshooting Press the LED Mode button to put the switch into PoE mode and the port Mode LEDs will show which ports are experiencing the problem. The following tables identify the specific problems that are shown by the LEDs. Check in the table for the LED pattern you see on your switch.
Troubleshooting Testing the Switch by Resetting It Testing the Switch by Resetting It If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch to test its circuitry and operating code. To reset the switch, unplug and plug in the power cord (power cycling).

Specifications Switch Specifications The switch automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-127 or 200-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. The switch can also be powered by a PoE PD connection to Port 1. Port 1 is an IEEE 802.3af Compatible PD (PoE Powered Device) - Class 3. Environmental Operating Non-Operating...
Specifications Mode Conditioning Patch Cord N o t e Most of the time, if you are using good quality graded-index multimode fiber cable that adheres to the standards listed in this appendix, there should not be a need to use mode conditioning patch cords in your network. This is especially true if the fiber runs in your network are relatively short.
Specifications Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs The Auto-MDIX Feature: In the default configuration, “Auto”, the fixed 10/ 100/1000BASE-T ports on the switches all automatically detect the type of port on the connected device and operate as either an MDI or MDI-X port, whichever is appropriate.
Page 48
Specifications Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs For 100 Mbps connections to the ports, use 100-ohm Category 5 UTP or ■ STP cable only, as supported by the IEEE 802.3u Type 100BASE-TX standard. ■ For 1000 Mbps connections, 100-ohm Category 5e or better cabling is recommended.
Specifications Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Straight-through Twisted-Pair Cable for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections Because of the Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switch, for all network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other switches, you can use straight-through cables.
Specifications Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Crossover Twisted-Pair Cable for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connection The Auto-MDIX operation of the 10/100 ports on the switch also allows you to use crossover cables for all network connections, to PCs, servers or other end nodes, or to hubs or other switches.
Specifications Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for 1000 Mbps Network Connections 1000BASE-T connections require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Cable Diagram N o t e Pins 1 and 2 on connector “A” must be wired as a twisted pair to pins 1 and 2 on connector “B”.
