6 C-1. Index 6. 1. Switch Overview Switch Hardware Features The HP ProCurve 1810G-24 Switch (J9450A) is a multiport switch that can be used to build high - performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high -speed networking. HP ProCurve 1810G-24 Switch Power and Fault Port Link and Mode LEDs LEDs LED Mode Select button Dual-personality ports 10/100/1000 Base-T. and indicator LEDs (10/100/1000 Base-T or RJ-45 ports mini-GBIC). Switch Ports The switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 ports. Two of these ports are dual-personality (ports 23 and 24).

7 Because the RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. Dual-personality ports use either the 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 connector, or a supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-optic connections. By default, the RJ- 45 connectors are enabled. This switch is designed to be used primarily as a high -density wiring closet or desktop switch. With this switch you can directly connect computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or routers.

8 In addition, the switch offers network management capabilities. 1-1. Switch Overview Switch Hardware Features LEDs The front panel of the switch provides status LEDs for system monitoring. The following table details the functions of the various indicators. System LED State Meaning Power On The switch is receiving power. (green). Off The switch is NOT receiving power. Fault On On briefly after the switch is powered on or reset, at the beginning of switch self (orange) test. If the LED remains on, it indicates a detected hardware failure during the self test. Blinking* A fault has occurred on the switch or one of the switch ports.

9 The Link LED for the port with the fault will blink simultaneously. Off The normal state; indicates that there are no fault conditions on the switch. Locator Blinking** The Locator LED is used to locate a specific switch in an area full of switches. The (blue) LED blinks for 30 minutes when activated through the switch software. Off The Locator LED is disabled by default. LED Mode Select Act Indicates that the port LEDs are displaying network activity information. (3 green LEDs). FDx Indicates the port Mode LEDs are lit for ports that are in full-duplex mode. Spd Indicates that the port LEDs are displaying the connection speed at which each port is operating: if the port LED is off, the port is operating at 10 Mbps.

10 If the port LED is blinking*, the port is operating at 100 Mbps. if the port LED is on continuously, the port is operating at 1000 Mbps. * The blinking behavior is an on/off cycle once every seconds, approximately. ** The blinking behavior is an on/off cycle once every seconds, approximately. Port LED State Meaning Link On The port is enabled and receiving a link indication from the connected device. Off The port has no active network cable connected, is not receiving link signal, or Green Mode has been enabled. Blinking A fault has been detected on the port. The port LED will blink simultaneously (once every seconds) with the Fault LED.
