Introducing the Switch
The ProCurve Series 2600 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.
The 2600-PWR Switches also support Redundant Power Supply and Power
over Ethernet (PoE) technologies.
Throughout this manual, these switches will be referred to as the Series 2600
Switches and the Series 2600-PWR Switches.

Introducing the Switch
Introducing the Switch
 The Switch 2650 and 2650-PWR, has 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-
45 ports with two dual-personality Gigabit Uplink ports.
 The Switch 2626 and 2626-PWR, has 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-
45 ports with two dual-personality Gigabit Uplink ports.
 The Switch 2600-8-PWR, has 8 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports
with one dual-personality Gigabit Uplink port.
The dual-personality ports are either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45,
or mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports in an Ethernet
application).
The Series 2600-PWR Switches incorporate two additional features. These
switches offer two types of power, one for switch AC operating power, and
the other for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power:
 Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - PoE technology allows IP tele-
phones, wireless LAN Access Points and other appliances to receive
power as well as data over existing LAN cabling, without needing to
modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure. The Series 2600-PWR
Switches are designed with an internal PoE power supply capable of
providing 406 watts of PoE power (126 watts on the 2600-8-PWR). All of
the Switch 2600-PWR ports can provide up to 15.4 watts of PoE power to
connected devices. For further information regarding PoE power, see the
PoE Planning and Implementation Guide which is on the documentation
CD that came with the switch.
 Redundant and External Power Supply Support - The Series 2600-
PWR Switches can be connected to a ProCurve 600 Redundant and
External Power Supply (J8168A), hereafter referred to as the 600 RPS/
EPS or a ProCurve 610 External Power Supply, hereafter referred to as
the 610 EPS, and receive redundant power from that unit. As an RPS unit,
the 600 RPS/EPS will provide all the AC power necessary to keep the
switch running should the switch internal AC power supply fail.
As an EPS unit, the 600 RPS/EPS and the 610 EPS can supply up to 408
watts of PoE power to the switch if the internal PoE power supply of the
switch should fail. When used with the Switch 2650-PWR, the additional
EPS power can provide up to 15.4 watts per port for 48 ports. For further
information regarding the 600 RPS/EPS or the 610 EPS PoE capabilities,
see the PoE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on the
documentation CD that came with the switch.
With these switches 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 the switch to hubs, other switches, or
routers. In addition, the Series 2600 Switches offer full network management
capabilities.

Network Ports
 8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX ports.
All these ports have the “HP 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.
 Dual-personality ports. You can use either the 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
connector, or install a supported ProCurve mini-GBIC for fiber-optic
connections. The RJ-45 connectors support the IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X
feature, which operates the same as the “HP Auto-MDIX” feature.
By default, the RJ-45 connectors are enabled. If a mini-GBIC is installed,
it is enabled and the associated RJ-45 connector is disabled and cannot
be used. If the mini-GBIC is removed, the associated RJ-45 port is
automatically re-enabled.
LEDs
On the Series 2600 Switches, there are three groupings of LEDs:
 switch status LEDs (Table 1-1)
 port LEDs (Table 1-2)
 Port LED View (non-PWR switches) and LED Mode (PWR switches)
indicator LEDs (near the selector button) (Table 1-3)
Table 1-1. Switch Status LEDs
Switch LEDs State Meaning
Power On The switch is receiving power.
(green) Off The switch is NOT receiving power. (Unless and RPS is connected to the
switch. If the switch looses power and the RPS is actively powering the
switch, the Power LED will be off and the switch will still have power and
all other LEDs will be functional.)
Fault Off The normal state; indicates there are no fault conditions on the switch.
(orange) Blinking1 A fault has occurred on the switch, one of the switch ports, the fan, or the
RPS or EPS operation of the switch. The Status LED for the component
with the fault will blink simultaneously.
On On briefly after the switch is powered on or reset, at the beginning of
switch self test. If this LED is on for a prolonged time, the switch has
encountered a fatal hardware failure, or has failed its self test. See
chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for more information.

any temporary error conditions that may have occurred and executes the
switch self test.
Clear Button
This button is used for these purposes:
 Deleting Passwords - When pressed by itself for at least one second, the
button deletes any switch console access passwords that you may have
configured. Use this feature if you have misplaced the password and need
console access.
This button is provided for your convenience, but its presence means that
if you are concerned with the security of the switch configuration and
operation, you should make sure the switch is installed in a secure
location, such as a locked wiring closet.
 Restoring Factory Default Configuration - When pressed with the
Reset button in a specific pattern, any configuration changes you may
have made through the switch console, the web browser interface, and
SNMP management are removed, and the factory default configuration is

Switch Features
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console to a Series 2600 Switch by using the
serial cable supplied with each switch. This connection is described under
“8. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch” on page 30 in chapter 2,
“Installing the Series 2600 Switches.” The console can be a PC or workstation
running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
Power Connector
The Series 2600 Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on
when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically
adjust to any voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are
no voltage range settings required.
Switch Features
The features of the Series 2600 Switches include:
 8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports with HP Auto-MDIX.
 dual-personality ports—either the auto sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
or the mini-GBIC can be used for each port.
 Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation—the 2600-PWR Series switches are
IEEE 802.3af compliant and provide up to 15.4W per port to power IP
phones, wireless access points, web cameras, and more. For more infor-
mation, see the POE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on
the Documentation CD-ROM that is included with your switch.
 The 2600-8-PWR switch supports some pre-standard PoE devices, for a
current list see the FAQ page for the 2600-8-PWR Switch, which can be
found on the ProCurve Web site, http://www.procurve.com, Technical
Support, FAQs (all).
 plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
 HP Auto-MDIX on all 10/100 twisted-pair ports, and IEEE 802.3ab Auto
MDI/MDI-X on all 10/100/1000 twisted-pair ports, meaning that all
twisted-pair connections can be made using straight-through
cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work.
 automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 8000-
address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).
