28 HP Surestore FC Switch 6164 Installation and Reference Guide
Unpacking the FC 6164
To unpack the FC 6164:
1. Open the shipping carton.
2. Remove all of the packaging materials.
3. Remove the screws holding the FC 6164 to the pallet.
Installing the FC 6164 in the Rack
This section provides the step-by-step procedure for installing the
FC Switch 6164 in either an HP rack or a Compaq/Rittal 19-inch rack.
Note
Most of the steps in this procedure are unnecessary if the FC 6164
was installed at an HP integration center prior to shipment. However, Steps
18 and 19 (assembling and installing the plenum) and Step 21 (installing
the switch door) must be performed for factory-integrated switches (see
pages
47 and 50 ).
Rackmount Safety Guidelines
In a rackmount installation, follow these safety guidelines:
• When installing a switch in a closed or multi-rack assembly, make
certain the air temperature, measured at the front panel, does not exceed
40
°
C during operation.
• Ensure that the airflow available to the switch is at least 300 cfpm.
• Verify the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer
to the switch’s nameplate for its power requirements.
• Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground
connection. Do not rely on connection to a branch circuit, such as power
strips.
• Route and support the power cord to ensure that it does not become
crimped or damaged and to prevent it from interfering with other
equipment and cabling installed in the rack.
• The FC 6164 weighs approximately 200 pounds. A lift is required to
move and position the switch safely, and at least two people are required
