See Installing as a stand-alone device, page 36. • HP highly recommends mounting the switch in one of the following HP customized racks: • HP StorageWorks System/e Rack • HP StorageWorks 10,000 Series Rack See Installing the switch in a rack using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit, page 37 for detailed instructions. Electrical considerations For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following electrical requirements are met. For power supply information, refer to "SAN Switch technical specifications" on page 99. • Primary AC input 100-240 VAC (switch auto-senses input voltage), 47-63 Hz. • Correctly wired primary outlet, with circuit protected by a circuit breaker and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes. • Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate. Environmental considerations Verify that the following environmental considerations are met: • At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the non-port side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle. • Verify that a minimum of 24 cubic ft./minute of air flow is available to the air intake vents on the nonport side of the switch. • Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° C (104° F) while the switch is operating. 34 Installing and configuring
