Installation And Safety Guidelines; Installing The Hp San Switch Rack Mount Kit In Your Hp Custom Rack - HP StorageWorks 8/40 - SAN Switch Hardware Reference Manual

Installation and safety guidelines

Verify that the rack and the area around the rack meet the following requirements:
• Plan a rack space that is 1.5 units high (which equals 6.7 cm or 2.6 inches), 48.3 cm (19 inches)
wide, and at least 68.6 cm (23 inches) deep. For the MP Router, 4/64 SAN Switch, or 8/80
SAN Switch, plan a rack space that is at least 2 units high.
• Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit connection, and maintain
ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power
strip.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis.
• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.

Installing the HP SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in your HP custom rack

The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit enables you to install your HP device in the following HP custom
racks:
• HP System/e Rack
• HP 10000 G2 Series rack and HP 10000 Series rack
For optimal cable management, HP recommends that you install the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to
allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out of the cool-air side of the rack. In this installation, the
port side of the switch is set 12.7 cm (5 inches) back from the edge of the rack, allowing a more
gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.
NOTE:
The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit installation requires one technician.
