Rack Mount Preparation; Installing The Switch - HP 376227-B21 - ProLiant InfiniBand 4x Fabric Copper Switch Installation Manual

Requirements
In addition to the accessories provided with the switch, you should have:
• T-10 and T-25 Torx screwdrivers.
• A second person for the installation. Installing the switch with only one person is very difficult.

Rack Mount Preparation

Prior to mounting the switch in a rack:
1. Check the slot in the rack for 1U clearance.
2. Open the box, remove the switch, rail brackets, and parts bag.
3. Place the switch on a secure, clean surface.
4. Open the plastic bag containing mounting parts.and locate:
• (12) T-10 Torx screws for attaching the rails to the switch.
• (8) T-25 Torx screws and clips for attaching the rails to the rack.
NOTE
It is highly recommend that two people install the switch, but it can be installed with one,
however it may be difficult to support and align the switch correctly in the rack rails with only
one person.

Installing the Switch

Step 1. Take one set of sliding brackets and separate them. Each side arrives with the sliding rail
assembled to a fixed rail. They need to be separated prior to attaching to the switch.

Step 2. To install the switch with the bezel to the front of the rack, install with the flange at the front of the
switch.
Attach the rail with 6 screws to each side of the switch in the locations shown in Figure 2-5
