Installation Precautions - HP ProCurve 9315M Quick Start Manual

12. Managing the device (page 2-23). Continue configuring the device using the CLI or the Web management
interface.
13. Swapping Modules (page 2-27). 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: 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 stabilty, 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.
CAUTION:
• 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.
• 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 determine
the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on
the same circuit as the Routing Switch. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum
ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices, near their AC power connectors.
• Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40
degrees C (104 degrees F).
• Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.
• To provide additional safety and proper airflow to the device, make sure that slot cover plates are installed on
all chassis slots that do not have either a module or power supply installed.
