Use the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit with the following optional HP StorageWorks custom racks only: • HP 9000 Series Rack • HP 10000 Series Rack • HP 10000 G2 Series Rack • HP System/e Rack NOTE: Figures and procedures throughout this document use "HP 10000 Series Rack" to reference both 10000 Series rack models (HP 10000 Series Rack and HP 10000 G2 Series Rack). Before you begin-important information about the plenum The plenum is an air duct that attaches to the switch rails, enabling the switch to draw cooler air into the switch from outside the rack, rather than drawing in heated air from within the rack. A plenum ships with the following 8Gb SAN Switch models only: • 8/8 SAN Switch • 8/24 SAN Switch See "Installing the plenum (if required)" on page 36 for complete instructions on how to install a plenum. Installation and safety guidelines Verify that the rack and the area around the rack meet the following requirements: • Plan a rack space that is 1.5 units high (which equals 6.7 cm or 2.6 inches), 48.3 cm (19 inches) wide, and at least 68.6 cm (23 inches) deep. For the MP Router, 4/64 SAN Switch, or 8/80 SAN Switch, plan a rack space that is at least 2 units high. • Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit connection, and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. • Ensure that air flow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis. • Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement. Installing the HP SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in your HP custom rack The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit enables you to install your HP device in the following HP custom racks: • HP System/e Rack • HP 10000 G2 Series rack and HP 10000 Series rack For optimal cable management, HP recommends that you install the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out of the cool-air side of the rack. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 12.7 cm (5 in) back from the edge of the rack, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables. NOTE: The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit installation requires one technician. 30 Installing and configuring an 8Gb SAN Switch
