HP B-series 16Gb FC Switches Hardware Reference Guide

Rack mount installation
To install the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount Kit:
1. Place the switch on a flat surface and attach each inner rail to the switch using three flat-head
screws. See Figure 18 (page 32).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate the left side and right side of the switch as
viewed from its nonport side.
Figure 18 Attaching the inner rails to the switch
2. Take care to select a mounting location in the rack such that the cutouts in the sides of each
rail are not obstructed. You will route the switch power cords through these holes later in this
procedure.
3. Attach each rear mounting bracket to a rear rack upright column using two Phillips screws
and adapter washers. See Figure 19 (page 32).
NOTE: For switches with Port Side Air Intake, attach the rear mounting brackets to the front
rack upright column.
