SAN Switch 2/8 Version 3.1.x Release Notes
Documentation Anomalies
Several changes have occurred since the
HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8
Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
was printed. Please note the following:
The name of the rack mount kit has been changed from “Universal Rack
Mount Kit” to “HP StorageWorks SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit.”

Kit has changed from
(14) #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screw with captive star lock washer
to
(14) #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screw with thread lock.
The current version of the
HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8 Version 3.1.x
Installation Guide
indicates that
the plenum is required for mounting
2/8 switches in some cabinets but not in others. However, the plenum is

refer to page 43 of the Installation Guide for information about installing
the plenum.
