If you are installing one of the following devices, install the plenum included in the switch accessory
kit:
• 8/8 SAN Switch
• 8/24 SAN Switch
See “
” on page 42 for complete installation instructions.
If you are installing a different device, see “
Securing the switch to the outer rails
” on page 43 to
complete the rack mount procedure.
Installing the plenum
If you are installing one of the SAN switches listed above in step 8, install the plenum as follows:
1.
Place the device (with inner rails attached) on a flat surface (see
).
NOTE:
Figure 21
illustrates how to attach the plenum to the 4/8 or 4/16 SAN Switch, but this
procedure also applies to other switch models that require a plenum.

2.
Locate the four 8-32 x .312 Phillips panhead SEMS screws in the accessory kit. These are the
same screws used to attach the inner rails in Step 5 of the preceding section.
3.
Verify that the open end of the plenum faces the rear of the device. When installed properly, you
should see the plenum’s air vent holes on one side, and the front panel of the device on the other.
4.
For each inner rail (left and right), use one screw hole marked
8
and one screw hole marked
16
to attach the plenum.
