SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
Note:
Before starting this procedure, verify that two of the slide mount L-brackets are
preinstalled at the end of each outer slide rail. The L-brackets are necessary to attach
the outer rails to the HP 9000 Series Rack.
1. Determine the appropriate placement for the switch inside the HP 9000 Series
or EIA Rack.
Note:
The HP 9000 Series rack’s rails are divided into Units (Us). Each U is marked
with a small, round hole and three square openings for mounting equipment.
2. Locate the small, round marker hole on the HP 9000 Series rack’s rails, which
coincides with the location selected in step 1. Each marker hole delineates the
beginning of one U.
Note:
The SAN Switch 2/16 requires one Unit of rack space.
3. Insert one square alignment washer on each of the
eight 10-32 x 3/8-inch
Phillips head screws.
Note:
The square alignment washers are mandatory for proper switch alignment.
4. Adjust the outer slide rail’s length to fit the length of the HP 9000 Series
Rack.
5. Position one of the outer slide rails in the rack, as described below:
a.
To allow the switch’s port end to slide out the back of the rack, orient
with the closed end of the outer slide rail towards the front of the rack.
b.
To allow the power supply end to slide out the front of the rack, orient the
closed end of the outer slide rail towards the back of the rack.
6. Holding the outer slide rail in place, insert one 3-hole bar nut between the
rack’s rail and the L-bracket at the end of the outer slide rail, see
Figure 6
