Installing the HPE StoreFabric SN6600B 32Gb FC Switch in a rack using the
Rack Mount Kit
Use the Switch Rack Mount Kits to install your 32Gb FC Switch in any HPE supported racks. See the
product QuickSpecs for the list.
CAUTION:
Install the Rack Mount Kit so that when the switch is installed, the port side faces the rear of the
rack. This configuration optimizes performance by:
• Providing better airflow by using a plenum to force cool air to enter the switch from the front of
the rack.
• Providing room for a gradual bend in the fiber optic cables because the port side of the switch is
set back from the edge of the rack. Use only the screws provided in the Rack Mount Kit. Using
other screws can cause damage to internal components.
NOTE:
For the switches with Port Side Air Intake, install the Rack Mount Kit so that when the switch is
installed, the port side faces the front of the rack.
The following items are required to install the switch in a rack:
• Power cables
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
