Installation Precautions - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

CAUTION: Use the CESD grounding tap (provided by HP) before connecting Category 5 or better UTP
copper networking cables.
11. Verifying Proper Connections (page 2-24). Test IP connectivity to other devices by pinging them and
tracing routes.
12. Managing the device (page 2-25). Continue configuring the device using the CLI or the Web management
interface.
13. Swapping Modules (page 2-34). If you are removing a module and placing a module of another type in its
slot, you need to reconfigure the chassis slot for the module.

Installation Precautions

Follow these precautions when installing an HP Routing Switch:
WARNING: All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers.
WARNING: The HP 9304M chassis exceeds 40 lbs. (18 kg), or 47.7 lbs.(21.6 kg) when fully populated with
modules and power supplies. Also, the HP 9308M chassis exceeds 55 lbs. (24.9 kg) or 69.1 lbs. (31.3 kg) when
fully populated with modules and power supplies. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING,
HANDLING, OR MOUNTING THESE ROUTING SWITCHES.
WARNING: The HP 9315M chassis exceeds 80 lbs (35 kg.) without modules and power supplies installed. To
avoid personal injury, reduce weight of chassis by removing all modules and power supplies from chassis prior to
lifting or moving. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING
THIS ROUTING SWITCH.
WARNING: Do not lift the 15-slot chassis using the lifting handles unless the chassis is empty. TO REDUCE
WEIGHT, REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLIES AND INTERFACE MODULES BEFORE LIFTING THE CHASSIS.
WARNING: Do not use the extraction handles on the power supply units to lift or carry the Routing Switch. The
power supply extraction handles are not intended to support the weight of the system and must never be used to
lift or move the chassis.
WARNING: The rack or cabinet housing the Routing Switch should be adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable and/or falling over.
WARNING: To increase rack stability, devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as
possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
WARNING: Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied
with the device to connect it to the power source.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, be sure to use a power
cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The
mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
CAUTION:
• Note that the AC outlets should be near the Routing Switch, and should be easily accessible in case the
Routing Switch must be powered off.
• Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
