Electrical
• Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate
• Circuit protected by a circuit breaker and grounded in accordance
with local electrical codes
See
HPE StoreFabric SN6500B 16Gb FC Switch power supply
for complete power supply specifications.
Thermal
• Minimum airflow of 79.8 cubic m/hr (47 cubic ft/min) available in the
immediate vicinity of the switch
• Ambient air temperature not exceeding 40°C (104°F) while the
switch is operating
Cabinet (rack mounted)
Use rack kits designed for the
extra width of the switch to
mount in standard cabinets/
racks.
• 1U in a 48.3 cm (19 in) cabinet
• All equipment in cabinet grounded through a reliable branch circuit
connection
• Plenum installed to prevent overheating
• Additional weight of switch not to exceed the cabinet’s weight limits
• Cabinet secured to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement
Power supply specifications
The power supplies are universal and operate worldwide without voltage jumpers or switches. They meet
IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements and support autoranging to accommodate input voltages and
line frequencies. Each power supply has built-in fans for cooling.
