Installing the SAN Switch Installing a SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V or 2/16N Into an EIA Cabinet The rack mount kit can be installed in two ways: ■ To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the cabinet. ■ To allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 3 in. (7.62 cm.) back from the edge of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables. Follow the installation instructions in the following sections. Selecting an Operating Location To ensure correct operation of the switch, the location must meet the following requirements: ■ Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate. ■ An air flow of at least 300 cubic feet per minute, available in the immediate vicinity of the switch. ■ If installing the switch in the HP 10000 Series, or comparable EIA cabinet: - All equipment installed in the cabinet should have a reliable branch circuit ground connection, and should not rely on a connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. - The cabinet should be balanced and the installed equipment should be within the cabinet's weight limits. Ensure the cabinet is mechanically secured to insure stability in the event of an earthquake. Cooling Requirements Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the chassis. The air is expelled through vents in the front (port side) of the chassis, next to the HP logo. HP recommends installing the switch so that air intake and exhaust for all components in the rack are flowing in the same front-to-back direction. 32 SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide

SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide
Installing a SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V or 2/16N Into
an EIA Cabinet
The rack mount kit can be installed in two ways:
■
To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the
cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the
cabinet.
■
To allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the
cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 3 in. (7.62 cm.) back from
the edge of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.
Follow the installation instructions in the following sections.
Selecting an Operating Location
To ensure correct operation of the switch, the location must meet the following
requirements:
■
Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
■
An air flow of at least 300 cubic feet per minute, available in the immediate
vicinity of the switch.
■
If installing the switch in the HP 10000 Series, or comparable EIA cabinet:
—
All equipment installed in the cabinet should have a reliable branch
circuit ground connection, and should not rely on a connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
—
The cabinet should be balanced and the installed equipment should be
within the cabinet’s weight limits. Ensure the cabinet is mechanically
secured to insure stability in the event of an earthquake.
Cooling Requirements
Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the
chassis. The air is expelled through vents in the front (port side) of the chassis,
next to the HP logo. HP recommends installing the switch so that air intake and
exhaust for all components in the rack are flowing in the same front-to-back
direction.
