SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
— The rack should be balanced and the installed equipment within the rack’s
weight limits. Ensure the rack is mechanically secured to ensure stability
in the event of an earthquake.
Cooling Requirements
Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the
chassis. The air is expelled through vents in the front of the chassis (the port/cable
side). HP cautions that you must install the switch so that air intake and exhaust
for all components in the rack flow in the same direction.
Caution:
Do not block air vents. The switch uses ambient air for cooling.
Power Requirements
Two AC power cords connect to the switch on either side of the rear panel. The
AC power source must meet these requirements:
■
A properly wired, earth-grounded AC outlet
■
Voltage capability of 85–264 VAC
■
Input voltage frequency of 47–63 Hz
■
Power capability of 75 watts, maximum
The switch has a universal power supply capable of functioning worldwide
without voltage jumpers or switches. The power supply is auto ranging in terms of
accommodating input voltages and line frequencies.
