hp StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 Installation Guide
Installation and Safety Considerations
Read the following sections for installation guidelines. Install the SAN Switch
2/16 in one of the following ways:
■
as a stand-alone unit on a flat surface, or
■
in the HP 9000 Series (or comparable) Rack using the Rack Mount Kit
supplied with the switch, contents as outlined in Table 2.
■
in an HP System/e Rack
Selecting an Operating Location
To ensure correct operation of the switch, the location where the switch is in use
must meet the following requirements:
■
Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
■
An air flow of at least 300 cubic feet per minute, available in the immediate
vicinity of the switch.
■
If installing the switch in the HP 9000 Series, HP System/e or comparable
Electronics Industries Association (EIA) rack:
— All equipment installed in the rack should have a reliable branch circuit
ground connection, and should not rely on a connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
— The rack should be balanced and the installed equipment within the rack’s
weight limits. Ensure the rack is mechanically secured to insure stability
in the event of an earthquake.
Cooling Requirements
Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the
chassis. The air is expelled through vents in the front of the chassis (the port/cable
side). HP cautions that you must install the switch so that air intake and exhaust
for all components in the rack flow in the same direction.
Caution:
Do not block air vents. The switch uses ambient air for cooling.
