Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/2432

2. Attach four bar nuts (three-hole bar nuts) to the cabinet frame using eight (8) Phillips panhead

screws (10-32 x 1/2) with split lock and flat washers.

NOTE: Do not install a screw in the center hole of each bar nut.

a. If you are installing the Edge Switch 2/24 in an HP 9000, 10000, or 11000 series rack,

place a square alignment washer on each panhead screw before inserting in the square

cabinet frame holes.

b. Mount the bar nut on the inside of the cabinet frame. Orient the holes in the bar nut so that

they are aligned closest to the inside edge of the cabinet frame.

c. Secure, but do not completely tighten, all screws.

3. Measure cabinet depth from inside edge to inside edge of the cabinet frame.

4. Assemble two sets of front and rear brackets so that the combined brackets are equal to the

depth of the cabinet.

5. Attach a two-hole bar nut using four (4) Phillips flathead screws (8-32 x 7/16) to hold each

assembled bracket together. Do not completely tighten but tighten enough to hold the brackets

together.

6. Install the assembled brackets in the cabinet by sliding the mounting brackets between the bar

nut and cabinet frame.

7. Tighten the three-hole bar nut screws on the mounting brackets to where the rails are stable, but

can be easily adjusted.

8. Securely tighten the two-hole bar nut screws holding the front and rear brackets together.

Mounting the slide rails on the sides of the switch

Use these steps to install the slide rails on the sides of the switch as shown in Figure 6 on page 33.

You will need a torque driver with a T10 Torx bit (not supplied in the kit) and left and right slide rails

to complete this procedure.

NOTE: You may want to remove the Edge Switch 2/24 power supplies, as this will make the

device lighter and easier to handle.

WARNING! Before removing the power supplies, review the HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24

service manual for details on removing power supplies.

1. On the Edge Switch 2/24, remove the six screws (three screws per side) that help hold the switch

cover in place.

NOTE: Do not discard these screws, as you will use them to attach the slide rails.
