SAN Director 64 Installation Guide
Obtain the required fibre-optic cables (multimode or single-mode). Verify cable length
and required connectors.
Obtain a Compaq 19-inch equipment rack.
If applicable, obtain the necessary remote workstations or Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) workstations. Workstations are customer-supplied and
connected through a corporate or dedicated LAN.
Verify that the front panel air temperature does not exceed 40 °C (104 °F) during
operation.
Verify that there is space in the rack. The Director is 9U, or 15.75 inches high.
Verify that the rack is stable.
Verify that all other equipment installed in the rack is connected to a reliable ground
connection; do not rely on connections to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
Compaq recommends securing the rack mechanically to prevent it from tipping over
during a natural disaster, such as an earthquake.
