Installation Considerations and Safety
Guidelines
WARNING:
The SAN Integrated Switch weighs approximately 200 pounds. Use proper
handling and lifting equipment to reduce the possibility of injury or product damage.
This chapter provides instructions for installing the SAN Integrated Switch. A rack
mounting kit is included with your SAN Integrated Switch. Plan before you begin to rack
mount the SAN Integrated Switch, and observe the following guidelines:
■
When you install the SAN Integrated Switch in a closed or multirack assembly, be sure
the air temperature measured at the front panel does not exceed 40° C (104° F) during
operation.
■
The SAN Integrated Switch can be installed facing either direction in a rack, which
allows you to choose the orientation of the air inlet and service sides. However, the
SAN Integrated Switch must be installed so that cooling air for all components in the
rack is flows in the same direction. Installing the SAN Integrated Switch other than the
way described here is considered an unsupported configuration.
