Edge Switch 2/24 installation guide 29
Ensuring that the square alignment washers are seated properly within the square cabinet frame
holes, use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the rear and front mounting screws.
Unpacking, inspecting, and installing the Ethernet hub (optional)
The HAFM appliance and one or more Edge Switches connect through an Ethernet hub installed on
a 10/100 Mbps LAN segment. One hub port is required to connect the HAFM appliance, and one
hub port is required to connect each Edge Switch. A combination of up to 48 HP Edge Switches can
be configured and managed by a single HAFM appliance; therefore, multiple hubs may be
required to provide sufficient port connections. These hubs must be connected in accordance with
the hub manufacturer’s specifications. HP recommends using a star or hub-and-spoke topology
when connecting multiple hubs. The HAFM appliance must be connected to the center hub, and
there should never be more than two hubs between the HAFM appliance and any Edge Switch. See
the hub manufacturer’s documentation for more detailed information.
For instructions to unpack and inspect one or more Ethernet hubs and install the hubs in a desktop
or rack-mount configuration, see the appropriate Ethernet hub documentation.
