About this Document This document describes the installation of the SAN Switch 2/32, SAN Switch 2/16, and SAN Switch 2/8 in an HP Series 9000 or comparable EIA rack, or in an HP System/e rack using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit, part number 331148-B21.
Rack Stability Rack stability protects personnel and equipment. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: ■ The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. ■ The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. ■ In single rack installations, the stabilizing feet are attached to the rack. ■ In multiple rack installations, the racks are coupled. ■ Only one rack component is extended at any time.
Installation and Safety Guidelines Read the following sections for installation guidelines. Install the SAN Switch in one of the following ways: ■ As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. ■ In an Electronics Industries Association (EIA) cabinet (like the HP 9000 Series Rack). ■ In an HP System/e rack.
Follow these guidelines to ensure proper air flow, and prevent component overheating: ■ To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the non-port side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle. ■ Verify a minimum of 47 cubic feet/minute (79.8 cubic meters/hour) of air flow is available to the air intake vents on the non-port side of the switch. ■ Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit) while the switch is operating.
■ Ensure that air flow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly. ■ Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way. ■ Secure the cabinet to insure stability in case of unexpected movement. Note: For proper air flow, the SFP media side of the switch must face the rear of the rack.
Installing the Switch in a Rack Using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit This section provides instructions for installing the SAN Switch 2/32, SAN Switch 2/16, or SAN Switch 2/8 in an HP System/e rack, or in an HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit, part number 331148-B21.

Caution: For proper air flow, the SFP media side of the SAN Switch 2/32, SAN Switch 2/16, or SAN Switch 2/8 must face the rear of the rack. This mounting allows air to enter from the front of the rack and to exhaust at the rear of the rack, similar to other rack-mounted equipment. This prevents switch overheating, which may cause it to fail. To install the switch in a rack: 1. Check contents of the shipping carton to verify all the required parts and hardware are available. 2.
— For an HP System/e rack, install each of the two rear mounting brackets with (2) #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws and (2) #10 alignment washers as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: Installing the rear mounting brackets (HP System/e rack-left rear upright) Note: This kit contains both left rails and right rails. The rails are marked with Right and Left to distinguish the rails from each other.
4. Assemble the outer rails by completing the following steps: a. Attach the left outer rail and the right outer rails to the rear mounting brackets using (2) 1/4-20 hex nuts with captive star lock washers attached loosely as shown in Figure 4. Don’t tighten them. The nuts will be tightened later in step 8.
b. Depending on the rack you are using, complete one of the following tasks: — For an HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack, install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock washers and two #10 adapter washers in the upper and lower hole locations of the right rail. Then install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock washers and two #10 adapter washers in the upper and lower hole locations of the left rail. See Figure 5.
— For an HP System/e rack, install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock washers and two #10 alignment washers in the upper and lower hole locations of the right rail. Then install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock washers and two #10 alignment washers in the upper and lower hole locations of the left rail. See Figure 6. Figure 6: Assembling the outer rails (HP System/e rack) 5.
6. For the SAN Switch 2/32 and SAN Switch 2/16, perform step a. For the SAN Switch 2/8, perform step b. Caution: Do not use any other screws other than the fourteen that are provided. Use of any longer lengths can cause damage to internal components. Note: The inner rails work for all three SAN switches—SAN Switch 2/32, SAN Switch 2/16, and SAN Switch 2/8. The mounting holes in the inner rails are marked with 32, 16, and 8.
a. Assemble the two inner rails (one on each side) to the switch using the appropriate number (from step 5) of #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screws as shown in Figure 7. Note: The rail kit provides fourteen #8-32 x 3/16-inch screws for assembling the inner rails. Each switch requires a different number of these screws. For example, Figure 7 shows the an inner rail being attached to the SAN Switch 2/16 with five screws. Attaching both inner rails requires ten screws.
b. For the SAN Switch 2/8, assemble the two inner rails (one on each side) to the switch and plenum using the appropriate number (from step 5) of #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screws as shown in Figure 8. Note: The plenum is only a required part of this installation when the SAN Switch 2/8 is installed in the HP System/e rack. The plenum is not needed if the switch is installed in an HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack.
7. Insert the switch with the attached inner rails into the outer rails. Note: This step applies to both the HP System/e rack and the HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack. Figure 9: Installing the switch into a rack (HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack) Insert the switch into the rack and install (2) #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock washers with one on each side. See Figure 9 and Figure 10.
Figure 10: Installing the switch into a rack (HP System/e rack) 8. Tighten the nuts installed in step a of step 4 on page 12. See Figure 4. Note: To uninstall a switch, remove the middle #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan head screw with captive star lock washer from either side of the rack uprights.
