Installing Using Rack Mount Kit - HP SN3000B Quick Start Instructions

To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure
that:
The primary AC input is 85–264 VAC Nominal:
100–40 VAC, 2.0 A; 47–63 Hz. The switch
autosenses input voltage.
The primary outlet is wired correctly, protected
by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance
with local electrical codes.
The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are
adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on
the switch nameplate.
For additional power supply information, see the HP
B-series 16Gb Switches Hardware Reference Guide.
Installing the SN6000B and SN3000B
16Gb FC Switches in a rack using the Rack
Mount Kit
You can use the SN6000B and SN3000B Switch Rack
Mount Kits to install your HP SN6000B and SN3000B
16Gb FC Switches in HP 10000 Series Racks.
CAUTION: Install the Rack Mount Kit as
described in this section so that when the switch
is installed, the port side faces the rear of the
rack. This configuration optimizes performance
by:
Providing better airflow by using a plenum
to force cool air to enter the switch from
the front of the rack
Providing room for a gradual bend in the
fiber optic cables because the port side of
the switch is set back from the edge of the
rack
Use only the screws provided in the Rack Mount
Kit. Using other screws can cause damage to
internal components.
To install the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount
Kit:
1. Place the switch on a flat surface and attach each
inner rail to the switch using three flat-head screws
as shown in
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate
the left side and right side of the switch as viewed
from its nonport side.

2. Choose a rack mounting location that provides
clearance for the switch power cords to run
between the rack sides and the rails at the front
of the rack.
3. Attach each rear mounting bracket to a rear rack
upright column using two Phillips screws and
adapter washers. See
