Switch Overview
The HP 1810-8, 1810-24, 1810-8G, and 1810-24G Switches are multiport
switches that can be used to build high-performance switched workgroup
networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low latency
for high-speed networking.
Throughout this manual, these switches will be referred to as the 1810-8
Switch, 1810-24 Switch, 1810-8G Switch, and the 1810-24G Switch.
■The 1810-8 Switch has 7 auto-sensing 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports and one
10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 port (port 8).
■The 1810-24 Switch has 22 auto-sensing 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports, two
10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports (ports 23 and 24), and two Small Form
Factor Pluggable (SFP) slots for supported HP SFP (mini-GBIC) fiber-
optic transceivers (ports 25 and 26).
■The 1810-8G Switch has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports.
Port 1 is a Power over Ethernet Powered Device (PoE PD) port. The
switch can be powered by a network connection to port 1 from PoE power
sourcing equipment (PSE), such as a PoE switch.
■The 1810-24G Switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports
and two SFP slots for supported HP SFP fiber-optic transceivers (ports
25 and 26).
These switches can be directly connected to 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. In addition, these switches offer network management capabilities.

Network Ports
■Auto-sensing 10/100BASE-TX ports.
All these ports have the “Auto-MDIX” feature, which means that you can
use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect
any network devices to the switch.
■Auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T ports.
All these ports have the “Auto-MDIX” feature, which means that you can
use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect
any network devices to the switch.
■PoE PD port (1810-8G Switch only)
A network connection to the PoE PD port from a PoE PSE device powers
on the switch.
■SFP slots for fiber or copper uplinks.
This product supports optional network connectivity as follows:

in Appendix A.
LED State Meaning
Power
(green)
On The switch is receiving power.
Off The switch is NOT receiving power.
Fault
(orange)
On On briefly after the switch is powered on or reset, at the beginning of switch self
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. 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
(blue)
Blinking** The Locator LED is used to locate a specific switch in an area full of switches. The
LED blinks for 30 minutes when activated through the switch software.
Off The Locator LED is disabled by default.
PD
(green)
1810-8G Switch
only
On Power is available on the PoE In port (Port 1).
Blinking* Power is no longer available on the PoE In port. The switch is powered from the
external power adapter. The LED continues to blink until power is restored on the
PoE In port or the switch reset.
Off No power is available on the PoE In port.
Link/Act
(green)
On The port is enabled and receiving a link indication from the connected device.
Off One of these condition exists:
• no active network cable is connected to the port
• the port is not receiving link beat or sufficient light
• Green Mode has been enabled.
Blinking* Indicates that there is network activity on the port.
