Installing the E-MSM720
Installation Precautions
WARNING ■The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it
from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as
possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively
lighter devices installed above.
■Wall-mount the E-MSM720 with network ports facing up (away
from the floor). Do not wall-mount the E-MSM720 with the
network ports facing down (toward the floor) or ventilation ducts
facing up or down.
Cautions ■Use only the AC/DC power adapter supplied with the E-MSM720 for
connection to an AC power source.
■Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the
power cord supplied with the E-MSM720 to connect it to the power
source.
■If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the E-MSM720, ensure the cord is adequately sized for the E-
MSM720’s current requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for
power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power
cord can be used safely with the E-MSM720. If the supplied power cord
does not fit, contact HP Networking support.
■When installing the E-MSM720, the AC outlet should be near the E-
MSM720 and should be easily accessible in case the E-MSM720 must be
powered off.
■Do not install the E-MSM720 in an environment where the operating
ambient temperature might exceed 45°C (113°F). This includes a fully-
enclosed rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the E-
MSM720 is not restricted.
■Ensure all port covers are installed when the port is not in use.

Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures
These steps summarize your E-MSM720 installation. The rest of this chapter
provides details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-3). Make sure the physical
environment into which you will be installing the E-MSM720 is properly
prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect
to the E-MSM720 and having an appropriate location for the E-MSM720.
2. Verify the E-MSM720 passes self test (page 2-3). Plug the E-MSM720
into a power source and observe that the LEDs on the E-MSM720’s front
panel indicate correct E-MSM720 operation.
3. Mount the E-MSM720 (page 2-5). The E-MSM720 can be mounted in a
19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal
surface.
4. Connect power to the E-MSM720 (page 2-9). Once the E-MSM720 is
mounted, plug it into the main power source.
5. Connect the network devices (page 2-10). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect the network devices to the E-MSM720 ports.
6. (Optional) Install mini-GBICs (page 2-11). The E-MSM720 has two or
four slots for installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you install the
E-MSM720, it may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Mini-GBICs can
be hot swapped—they can be installed or removed while the E-MSM720
is powered on.

2-3
Installing the E-MSM720
Installation Procedures
1. Prepare the Installation Site
■Cabling Infrastructure - Ensure the cabling infrastructure meets the
necessary network specifications.
■Installation Location - Before installing the E-MSM720, plan its location
and orientation relative to other devices and equipment:
• In the front of the E-MSM720, leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space
for the twisted-pair and fiber-optic cabling.

Installing the E-MSM720
Installation Procedures
Note The E-MSM720 also does not have a power switch. It is powered on when the
external AC/DC power adapter is connected to the E-MSM720 and the adapter
power cord is connected 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.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with
the E-MSM720, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the E-MSM720’s current
requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of
the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country.
The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the
E-MSM720. If the supplied power cord does not fit, contact HP Networking
support.
Caution Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord supplied with the
E-MSM720. Use of other adapters or power cords, including those that came
with other HP Networking products, may result in damage to the equipment.
Check the LEDs on the E-MSM720 as described below.
Figure 2-2. LEDs
When the E-MSM720 is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self test. Self

Installing the E-MSM720
Installation Procedures
LED Behavior
During the self test:
• Initially, all the E-MSM720 and port LEDs are on. Most of the LEDs go
off and then may come on again during phases of the self test.
• For the duration of the self test, the Test LED stays on.
When the self test completes successfully:
•ThePower LED remains on.
•TheFault, Locator and Test LEDs stay off.
•TheAct LED remains on indicating the default port LED mode.
• The port LEDs on the front of the E-MSM720 go into their normal
operational mode:
– If the ports are connected to active network devices, the Link
LEDs stay on and the Mode LEDs behave according to the mode
selected. In the default mode (Act), the Mode LEDs should be
blinking indicating port activity.
– If the ports are not connected to active network devices, the Link
and Mode LEDs will stay off.
If the LED display is different than what is described above, especially if
the Fault and Test LEDs stay on for more than 60 seconds or they start
flashing, the self test has not completed correctly.
Save Power Mode
A Save Power mode feature can be configured through the console. Save
Power mode can be used to turn off port LEDs unless the LED Mode button
is pressed. In addition, it can configure the LAN ports to operate at low power
if a link is not detected.
3. Mount the E-MSM720
After the E-MSM720 passes self test, it is ready to be mounted in a stable
location. The E-MSM720 can be mounted in these ways:
■in a rack or cabinet
■on a horizontal surface
■on a wall
