SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit Installation Instructions

b.

For the SAN Switch 2/8, assemble the two inner rails (one on each side)

to the switch and plenum using the appropriate number (from

step 5

) of

#8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screws as shown in

Figure 8

.

Note:

The plenum is only a required part of this installation when the SAN Switch 2/8

is installed in the HP System/e rack. The plenum is not needed if the switch is installed

in an HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack.

Verify that the plenum (part number A7346-00001) is preinstalled on the SAN Switch

2/8 before proceeding. The plenum is required for the SAN Switch 2/8 rack mount

only, as it allows air to dissipate at the rear of the rack, preventing overheating.

If the plenum is not preinstalled on the SAN Switch 2/8, refer to the

HP StorageWorks

SAN Switch 2/8 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide

for complete plenum installation

instructions.
