devices. If the links on these cables are good and the connected device is powered on, the link LEDs will light. 8.5 Installing a ProCurve 9300 Series Chassis in a Rack The ProCurve 9300 series are heavy. The ProCurve 9304M chassis exceeds 40 lbs. (18 kg), or 47.7 lbs.(21.6 kg) when fully populated with modules and power supplies. The ProCurve 9308M chassis exceeds 55 lbs. (24.9 kg) or 69.1 lbs. (31.3 kg) when fully populated with modules and power supplies. The ProCurve 9315M chassis exceeds 80 lbs (35 kg.) without modules and power supplies installed. Two or more people are required when lifting, handling, or mounting any of these switches. Caution: To avoid personal injury, you should also reduce the weight of the 9315M chassis by removing all modules and power supplies prior to lifting or moving. Do not lift the 9315M using the lifting handles unless the chassis is empty. Warning! Do not use the extraction handles on the power supply units to lift or carry a switch. The power supply extraction handles are not intended to support the weight of the system and must never be used to lift or move the chassis. Before installing a switch chassis in the rack, make sure the rack is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over. Make sure that adequate ventilation is provided for the system. A minimum of three inches of clearance is recommended on all sides. Make sure the air flow is unrestricted around the front, sides, and back of the switch. Take the following steps to install the switch in a rack: 1. Set the device on a flat desktop, table, or shelf. Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area. You may want to secure the networking cables and power cord to the table legs or other part of the surface structure to help prevent people from tripping over them. 2. Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two L-shaped mounting brackets and mounting screws. 3. Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the switch, as shown on the left side of Figure 8-8. 4. Put aside the 12-24 screws that came with the accessory kit and locate the cage nuts and screws that came with the rack. Install two cage nuts in the appropriate location on each side of the rack column. Partially install a screw through the bottom cage nut on each side of the rack column and slide the system onto the cage nut screws in the rack.

The ProCurve 9300 series are heavy. The ProCurve 9304M chassis exceeds 40 lbs. (18 kg), or 47.7
lbs.(21.6 kg) when fully populated with modules and power supplies. The ProCurve 9308M
chassis exceeds 55 lbs. (24.9 kg) or 69.1 lbs. (31.3 kg) when fully populated with modules and
power supplies. The ProCurve 9315M chassis exceeds 80 lbs (35 kg.) without modules and power
supplies installed. Two or more people are required when lifting, handling, or mounting any of
these switches.
Caution:
To avoid personal injury, you should also reduce the weight of the 9315M chassis by removing
