Installing and Configuring the SAN Director 2/128 Installation Overview Install the SAN Director 2/128 in one of the following ways ■ As a standalone unit on a stable table or lab workbench ■ In a rack using the 14U Rack Mount Kit supplied with the switch Selecting an Operating Location Verify that the switch location meets the following requirements: ■ Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size that are adequate according to the electrical rating on the chassis nameplate ■ Air flow of at least 350 cubic feet per minute, available in the immediate vicinity of the SAN Director 2/128. ■ If installing the switch in an HP rack, or comparable Electronics Industries Association (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 within the rack's weight limits. Ensure that the rack is mechanically secured to insure stability in the event of an earthquake. Cooling Requirements Install the switch so that air intake and exhaust for all components in the rack is flowing in the same direction. Note: To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the port side facing the aisle into which exhaust air is released (usually called the "service aisle"). This prevents the fans from pulling in heated exhaust air. 38 SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
