HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8|16|32 Installation Guide

Caution:

For proper airflow, the SFP media side of the SAN Switch 2/32,

SAN Switch 2/16, or SAN Switch 2/8 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 switch

overheating, which may cause it to fail.

To install the switch in a rack:

1.

Check contents of the shipping carton to verify all the required parts and

hardware are available.

2.

Choose a mounting location in the rack for the switch.

3.

Attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear rack uprights by completing one

of the following steps:

—

For an HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack, assemble each of the two

brackets with (2) #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive

star lock washers and (2) #10 adapter washers as shown in

Figure 2
