operation:
Core Switch 2/64 V4.1 Installation Guide
WARNING:
For safety reasons, when installing this product in an equipment
rack, you must consider rack stability against tipping. Please refer to the user
manual provided with the equipment rack to determine rack stability
(available through the HP Web site at:
http://www.hp.com/racksolutions/prodinfo/racks/index.html).
If the necessary stability is not achieved, through the placement of additional
equipment or ballast, the equipment rack must be anchored to the building
structure before operation.
WARNING:
A fully populated HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 weighs
approximately 250 pounds (113 kg) and requires a minimum of two people
and mechanical lift to install it.
Before installing, verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not
exceed the cabinet's weight limits or unbalance the cabinet, including when
some of the cards or power supplies are partially extended out of the chassis.
Caution:
To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the port side
facing the aisle into which exhaust air is released (usually called the service
aisle). This prevents the fans from pulling in heated exhaust air.
Provide a space that is 14U high, 29 inches deep, and 19 inches wide
(IU = 1.75 inches). Also provide an additional 1U for cable management.
If installing in a cabinet:
— Ensure the space in the 19 inch (48.3 cm) EIA cabinet is 14U high, with a
minimum distance of 28.25 inches (71.76 cm) between the front and back
rails, and a maximum distance of 29.88 inches (75.90 cm).
— Verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the
cabinet's weight limits.
— Ensure that all equipment installed in the cabinet is grounded through a
reliable branch circuit connection. Do not rely on a secondary connection
to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
