If the switch is at factory defaults, it will try to get a DHCP address. You could look at the MAC address on the sticker on the switch and compare to the DHCP Leases on your DHCP server. Otherwise, use a serial console cable to connect to the switch and issue the "show ip" command.

Use the Install and Getting Started Guide to help you get console access to the switch: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=5171622&docId=emr_na-c03014935&docLocale=en_US  on page 2-25.

Once you have serial console access, use the "show ip" command to view the received DHCP address.

There must not be a DHCP server on your network. 

To configure a static IP address, do this:

HP-2620-24# conf

HP-2620-24(config)# vlan 1

HP-2620-24(config)# ip address 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0

HP-2620-24(config)# end

HP-2620-24# write mem

Then you can telnet to the switch at 192.168.1.10. Obviously you need to choose an address valid on your network.
