Important rack mount safety guidelines
Review the following rack mount guidelines before proceeding with the installation.
WARNING! A fully populated 4/256 SAN Director (384 ports) weighs approximately
216 lbs (96 kg) and requires a minimum of two people and a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.
Do not use any of the bays (such as the power supply or blower assembly bays) for leverage.
To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle. This
prevents the blowers from pulling in heated exhaust air.
If the switch is installed in a cabinet, verify that the cabinet is balanced and secured mechanically
and that the removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.
• Provide a space that is 14 rack units (14U) high, 29 in. deep, and 19-in. wide. 1U is equal to
1. 75 i n .
• Plan to install the 4/256 SAN Director with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle.
