Installing and Configuring the SAN Director 2/128 ■ Check that a minimum distance of 28.25 inches is between the front and back rails. ■ Verify that the additional weight of the chassis does not exceed the rack's weight limits. ■ Check that all equipment installed in the rack is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. ■ Verify that the cabinet has enough space. The SAN Director 2/128 is 14U, or 24.11 inches high. ■ Verify that the rack is stable. ■ M5 Tinnermans (0590-2318) and M5 Torx screws (0515-0671) are required pieces of rack mount kit hardware. ■ Plan for cable management before installing the chassis. Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, or through cable channels on the sides of the rack. ■ Verify that the SAN Director 2/128 has access to a minimum airflow of 350 cubic feet per minute. ■ Ensure adequate cooling by installing 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. Installing the SAN Director 2/128 in an HP or Comparable EIA Cabinet Use the following procedure to install the SAN Director 2/128 in an HP 10,000 series, HP System/e or comparable EIA cabinet using the 14U Rack Mount Kit supplied with the switch. Allow approximately 45 minutes to complete this procedure. Note: These instructions describe how to install the switch in the bottom area of the rack (section closest to the floor). You may need to orient 14U Rack Mount Kit hardware based on your particular rack's configuration. 44 SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
