5SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit Installation Instructions
Installation and Safety Guidelines
Read the following sections for installation guidelines. The SAN Switch Rack
Mount Kit is for use with the following specific HP racks only:
■ HP 9000 Series Rack
■ HP 10,000 Series Rack
■ HP System/e Rack
Rack Mount Checklist
Verify that the rack and the area around the rack meets the following
requirements:
■ Before proceeding to use this rack mount kit, verify that you are installing the
device in one of the following HP supported rack models only:
— HP Series 9000
— HP Series 10,000
— HP System/e rack
■ Plan a rack space that is 1.5 units high (2.6 inches; 6.7 cm), 19 inches (48.3
cm) wide, and at least 23 inches (68.6 cm) deep for SAN switches. Or, for the
MP Router, plan a rack space that is 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 air flow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing
basis, particularly if the device is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly.
■ Verify that the additional weight of the device does not exceed the rack’s
weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way.
■ Secure the rack to insure stability in case of unexpected movement.
Note: For proper air flow, the SFP media side must face the rear of the rack. This
mounting allows air to enter from the front of the rack and to exhaust at the rear of the
rack, similar to other rack-mounted equipment. This prevents overheating.
