Installing the HPE SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in your Hewlett Packard Enterprise
custom rack
The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit enables you to install your Hewlett Packard Enterprise device
in the following Hewlett Packard Enterprise custom racks:
•
HPE System/e Rack
•
HPE 10000 Series rack
For optimal cable management, Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 switch 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.
The following items are required to install the switch in a rack:
•
Power cables
•
A #2 Phillips screwdriver
•
A 7/16-inch wrench or socket
•
Plenum (if required)
See
“Before you begin—Important information about the plenum” (page 28)
to determine
whether you need to install a plenum before rack mounting your device.
