About the Plenum
The plenum is an air duct that attaches to the switch rails, enabling the
switch to draw in cooler air from outside the rack instead of drawing in
heated air from inside the rack.
The plenum ships with the following switch models only:
•
SAN Switch 2/8V
•
SAN Switch 2/8
•
SAN Switch 2/16V
•
4/8 SAN Switch
•
4/16 SAN Switch
•
4/32B SAN Switch
•
8/8 SAN Switch
•
8/24 SAN Switch
See
"Installing the plenum (if
installing a plenum.
Installation and safety guidelines
Verify that the rack and the area surrounding the rack meet the following
requirements:
•
Plan a rack space that is 1.5 units high (6.7 cm or 2.6 inches), 48.3
cm (19 inches) wide, and at least 68.6 cm (23 inches) deep. For the
MP Router, 4/64 SAN Switch, 8/80 SAN Switch, and Encryption
SAN Switch, plan a rack space that is at least 2 units high.
•
Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit
connection, and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a sec-
ondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
•
Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an on-
going basis.
•
Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.
Installing the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit
in an HP custom rack
Use the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to install your HP device in the
following HP custom racks:
•
HP System/e Rack
•
HP 10000 Series Rack
For optimal cable management, HP recommends that you install the SAN
Switch Rack Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of the device to slide
out of the cool-air side of the rack. In this installation, the port side of
the device is set back from the edge of the rack, allowing a more gradual
bend in the fiber optic cables.
NOTE:
The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit installation requires one
technician.
The following items are required to install the device in a rack:
•
Power cables
required)" on page 6 for instructions on
•
#2 Phillips screwdriver
•
7/16-inch wrench or socket

Plenum (if required)
See
"About the
Plenum" on page 2 to determine if you need to in-
stall a plenum before rack mounting your device.
•
