Installation Procedures
Installing the Switch
1. Prepare the Installation Site
Cabling Infrastructure - Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the
necessary network specifications. See Appendix B “Cabling and Technology
Information” for more information.
Installation Location - Before installing the switch, plan its location and
orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
• In the front of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space for
the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.
• In the back of the switch, leave at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space
for the power cord.
• On the sides of the switch, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling,
except if the switch is installed in an open EIA/TIA rack.
2. Install or Remove a yl Module (Optional)
Note Hot swapping modules is not supported. If a module is installed or removed
with the switch powered on, a reset will occur. Only insert or remove a module
during scheduled downtime with the switch powered off.
The HP ProCurve 3500-24, 3500-48, 3500-24-PoE and 3500-48-PoE
switches do not support a rear interface module.
1. Remove the cover plate.
2. Insert the module aligning with the guides in the slot. See “Installing a yl
module” on page 2-6.
3. Once the contacts have engaged, use the extractor handles to seat the
module completely.
