About the Plenum The plenum is an air duct that attaches to the switch rails, enabling the switch to draw in cooler air from outside the rack instead of drawing in heated air from inside the rack. The plenum ships with the following switch models only: • SAN Switch 2/8V • SAN Switch 2/8 • SAN Switch 2/16V • 4/8 SAN Switch • 4/16 SAN Switch • 4/32B SAN Switch • 8/8 SAN Switch • 8/24 SAN Switch See "Installing the plenum (if required)" on page 6 for instructions on installing a plenum. Installation and safety guidelines Verify that the rack and the area surrounding the rack meet the following requirements: • Plan a rack space that is 1.5 units high (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, 8/80 SAN Switch, and Encryption 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 airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis. • Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement. Installing the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in an HP custom rack Use the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to install your HP device in the following HP custom racks: • HP System/e Rack • 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 device to slide out of the cool-air side of the rack. In this installation, the port side of the device is set 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. • #2 Phillips screwdriver • 7/16-inch wrench or socket • Plenum (if required) See "About the Plenum" on page 2 to determine if you need to install a plenum before rack mounting your device. • SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit hardware See Table 1, which identifies the rails and rail-mounting hardware.
