HP DC04 SAN Director Switch Hardware Reference Guide

1. Provide a space that is 9 rack units (9U) high, 61.19 cm (24.09 in) deep, and 43.74 cm
(17.22 in) wide. 1U is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in).
2. The DC04 SAN Director can be installed facing in either direction, provided that serviceability
and cooling requirements are met.
3. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis.
Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis,
to either side of the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using
patch panels (see Managing cables (page 30)).
4. Ensure that dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:
• 200—240 VAC, 50–60 Hz (two branch circuits)
• Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes
• Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate to the electrical rating on the chassis
nameplate
• Located close to the chassis and easily accessible
• Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician, compatible with the power cords
TIP: To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.
5. Ensure that the air intake and exhaust vents have a minimum of two in of airspace.
6. Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side is less than 40° C (104° F) during
operation.
CAUTION: Use safe lifting practices when moving the product. A fully-populated DC04 SAN
Director (four FC8-64 port cards, 512 ports) weighs approximately 159.2 kg (351 lb) and
requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install.
NOTE: The DC04 SAN Director packaging does not include a wood pallet and pallet
brackets. The chassis sits on top of a plastic shipping tray.
7. Remove the upper portion of the shipping crate.
a. Cut the bands around the packaging.
b. Lift the carton off the chassis, leaving the foam on top of the chassis to hold the kits in
place during transfer to the installation area. Save the shipping carton for future use.
c. Leave the chassis on top of the plastic shipping tray if the chassis must be transported to
the installation location.
8. Verify the contents of the carton against the list in Items included with the DC Director (page 20).
9. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the new chassis to the installation area.
Doorways must be wider than 91 cm (36 in).
10. Remove the port side exhaust kit, shipping bracket kit, accessory kit, packing foam, and
antistatic plastic from the chassis and set aside.
