SAN Switch 2/32 Version 4.2.x Installation Guide
Locating SAN Switch 2/32 Serial Numbers
Before contacting HP for technical support or service, obtain the three serial
numbers located on the switch. Each serial number provides specific logistical
information, identifying the device’s manufacturing location.
Installation Guidelines
Read the following sections for installation guidelines. Install the SAN Switch
2/32 in one of the following ways:
■
As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. For instructions, see
Setting Up the
Switch as a Stand-alone Unit
, page 25.
■
As a fixed component using the SAN Switch rack mount kit. For instructions,
see
Installing the Switch in a Rack Using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit
,
page 26.
Selecting an Operating Location
To ensure correct operation of the switch, the location where the switch is to be
used 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 you are installing the switch in the HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack:
—
All equipment installed in the rack 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 rack should be balanced and the installed equipment should be within
the rack’s weight limits. Make sure the rack is mechanically secured to
ensure stability in the event of an earthquake.
