Installation Precautions
Warnings
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.
■ The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Ensure a cover plate is installed on any empty switch power supply or module slot. A cover plate is required
■
for safe operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling. Never have more than one power supply or module
slot uncovered at a time while the switch is powered on.
■ To avoid energy and mechanical hazards, never allow any part of your body, jewelry, tool, or other foreign
object to enter any module or power supply slot.
■ This unit may have more than one power supply cable. To fully power down the switch, you must disconnect
all power supply cables from the unit.
Cautions
■ If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, use only an HP 10000 series rack and a rail mounting kit (5070-0145) for each switch.
■ Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the switch to connect it
to the power source.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power supply, be sure the
■
cord is adequately sized for the switch's current requirements. In addition, 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 switch and power supply.
When installing the switch, note that the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily accessible in case the
■
switch must be powered off.
■ Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. Each power supply should
be connected to a dedicated branch circuit to prevent tripping building circuit breakers. To determine the possibility of
overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch
and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices
near the AC power connectors.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds switch's operating limits.
■
■ Allow three to four inches (7.6 cm) of space around the sides and back of the switch to make sure the air flow for the
switch is not restricted.
For more information, see the Safety and Regulatory Information sheets and the Installation and Getting Started Guide
for your switch.
