Setting up Your Network
The IP Console Switch system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the console
swtiches and computers running the IP Console Viewer. The IP Console Switch
supports both BootP (a subset of DHCP) and static IP addressing. HP recommends
that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that they remain static while the
console switches are connected to the network.
Rack Mounting the IP Console Switch
The IP Console Switch ships with rack mounting brackets for easy integration in to
your rack. Before installing the console switch and other components in the rack
cabinet (if not already installed), stabilize the rack in a permanent location. Install
your equipment starting at the bottom of the rack cabinet, then work to the top. Avoid
uneven loading or overloading of rack cabinets.
NOTE: Prior to installing the IP Console Switch into the rack, connect the console switch to a
power source, using the power cords provided and power on the unit. A green activity indicator
is displayed after a few seconds. If the green activity indicator does not display, be sure that
the power is on, that the power cord is connected, and the power source is valid. For more
information, refer to the troubleshooting chapter in this guide.
Three different rack-mounting configurations are described in the sections below:
• Side mount 0U
— Type A—Square and round internal mounting rail holes
— Type B—Square internal mounting rail holes
• Rear rack mount
• Standard 1U mount
