34, drill two holes at the same height and make sure that the spacing in between is as follows: 1910-8G—98.5 mm (3.88 in) 1910-8G-PoE+ (65W)—174.0 mm (6.85 in) 1910-8G-PoE+ (180W)—174.0 mm (6.85 in) The hole depth and size depends on the anchors and screws you use. Make sure that you can push the anchors to their full depth in the holes, with their outer edges having a close contact with the wall, and tightly fasten the screws to the wall.
Figure 36 Wall mounting (1) Mounting hole in the switch chassis bottom Grounding the switch WARNING! Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND).

Identify the grounding point (with a grounding sign) on the rear panel of the switch chassis, and remove the grounding screw from the grounding point. Attach the grounding screw to the OT terminal of the grounding cable. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding screw hole.

Accessing the switch for the first time Setting up the configuration environment The first time you access the switch you must use a console cable to connect a console terminal, for example, a PC, to the console port on the switch. Figure 44 Connect the console port to a terminal Connecting the console cable Console cable...
NOTE: Identify the mark on the console port and make sure that you are connecting to the correct port. • The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the switch has been powered on, connect the • console cable to the PC before connecting to the switch, and when you disconnect the cable, first disconnect from the switch.

The V1910-24G-PoE (365W) adopts AC power input, RPS power input, or both RPS and AC power inputs. Other 1910 switches adopt AC power input only. You can look at the power LED and the RPS status LED on the front panel of the switch to identify a power system failure.
The external RPS is correctly working. • NOTE: If the problem persists, contact the HP technical support for help. Configuration terminal problems If the configuration environment setup is correct, the configuration terminal displays booting information when the switch is powered on. If the setup is incorrect, the configuration terminal would display nothing or garbled text.
