Switch Overview
Switch Features
The 1810-8 and 1810-8G Switches do not have a power switch, they are
powered on when the external AC/DC power adapter is connected to the
switch and to a power source. The external AC/DC power adapter supplies
12 volts DC to the switch and automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between
100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
The 1810-8G Switch can also be powered on by a PoE PD connection to Port 1.
Switch Features
The features of the HP 1810 Switches include:
■7 or 22 auto-sensing 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports.

Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions when installing the switch.
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 progres-
sively lighter devices installed above.
■When wall mounting, to meet national and international safety
requirements, wall mount with the network ports facing up. The
side vents cannot be placed up or downward.
Cautions ■When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be located near the
switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be
powered off.
■Ensure that the AC power source circuits are properly grounded.
■Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord (if applicable),
supplied with the switch. Use of other adapters or power cords, including
those that came with other HP Networking products, may result in
damage to the equipment.
For those switches that use a power cord, if your installation requires a
different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency the defines
the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.
■Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-
current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply
circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the
same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for
the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the AC power connectors.
■Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
■Ensure the air flow around the sides of the switch is not restricted.

Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
Installation Procedure
These steps summarize your switch installation. The rest of this chapter
provides details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-5). 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 an appropriate location for the switch. See page
2-5 for some installation precautions.
2. Verify the switch passes self test (page 2-5). Plug the switch into a
power source and observe that the LEDs on the switch’s front panel
indicate correct switch operation.
3. Mount the switch (page 2-8). The 1810-24 and 1810-24G Switches can
be mounted in a 19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall,
under a table, or on a horizontal surface. The 1810-8 and 1810-8G Switches
can be mounted on a wall, under a table, or on a horizontal surface.
4. Connect power to the switch (page 2-13). Once the switch is mounted,
plug it into the main power source.
5. Connect the network devices (page 2-14). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect the network devices to the switch ports.
6. (Optional) Install SFP transceivers (page 2-5). The 1810-24 and 1810-
24G Switches have two slots for installing SFP transceivers (mini-GBICs).
Depending on where you install the switch, it may be easier to install the
SFPs first. SFPs can be hot swapped—they can be installed or removed
while the switch is powered on.
At this point, your switch is fully installed. See the rest of this chapter if you
need more detailed information on any of these installation steps.
