Switch Overview
Switch Hardware Features
The ProCurve Switch 1400-8G (J9077A) 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.
Switch Ports
The switch has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T IEEE 802.3ab auto
MDI/MDI-X RJ-45 ports. 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 it to hubs, other switches, or routers.
Power
LED 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports
(all ports have the HP Auto-MDIX feature)

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
(green) On The switch is receiving power.
Off The switch is NOT receiving power.
Port LED State Meaning
Link/Act
(green –
overlaid with
the port
number)
On The port is enabled and receiving a linkindication
from the connected device.
Off The port has no active network cable connected,
or is not receiving link signal.
Flashing Indicates that there is network activity on the
port.
FDx
(green) On Indicates the port is operating at full duplex.
Off Indicates the port is operating at half duplex.
Spd
(green) On Ports 1-8: Indicates the port is operating at 1000 Mbps.
Off Ports 1-8: Indicates the port is operating at 10 or
100 Mbps.

Switch Features
The features of the ProCurve Switch 1400-8G include:
■8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports.
■plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect
the network cables to active network devices and your switched
network is operational.
■IEEE 802.3ab Auto MDI /MDI-X on all twisted-pair ports, meaning
that all connections can be made using straight-through twisted-
pair cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will
also work. The pin operation of each port is automatically
adjusted for the attached device: if the switch detects that a 10/
100 Mbps switch or hub is connected to the port, it configures the
port as MDI; if the switch detects that a 10/100 Mbps end-node
device is connected to the port, it configures the port as MDI-X.
■automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s
8000- address forwarding table.
■automatically negotiated full-duplex operation for all 10/100/
1000Base-T RJ-45 ports when connected to other auto-
negotiating devices.
■supports pass through (flooding) of spanning tree BPDUs so that
upstream devices on the network which support Spanning Tree
Protocol can detect loops that exist on the ProCurve Switch 1400
interface.
