Switches
Installation Procedures
WARNING To avoid personal injury or product damage, read the safety warnings
on page 2-5 and installation precautions on page 2-6 and follow the
rack mounting guidelines on page 2-7. Due to product weight, two or
more persons are required to handle and mount the 8212 zl.
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.
2. Mount the Switch Chassis (page 2-7). The 8200 zl switches are large,
heavy chassis. HP networking recommends mounting the empty chassis
before populating it with modules or power supplies. It 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 the
8200 zl switches in a cabinet that is suitable for shipping.
3. Install the Switch Modules (page 2-11). The 8200 zl switches have
either six or twelve universal slots for installing any of the HP zl Modules.
Depending on where you will install your 8200 zl switch, it may be easier
to install the modules first. The modules are “hot swappable” though, so
they may also be installed and removed after the switch is powered on.
4. Install the Power Supplies (page 2-14). The 8212 zl switch supports
four power supplies. The 8206 zl switch supports 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 some of the
modules.
5. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test (page 2-17). 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.
