Thumb screw (two for each slide bracket) that secures the ProCurve switch to the rack mount brackets 1.8 Installation Preparations Prepare for the installation as follows: 1. Ensure that the cluster is shut down and powered off so that you can perform the installation. 2.
2 Installing and Using the ProCurve 1U Rack Mount Brackets 2.1 Identifying the Installation Location The installation location is dependent on the configuration rules for your XC Cluster upgrade bundle. See Section 1.2 for information on where you can obtain XC documentation resources. An upgrade bundle consists of a number of different components, such as ProLiant DL380 servers, ProCurve switches, and cables of predetermined length.
Note: To make assembly easier, insert the first screw through the slide bracket hole and hold it in place with the screwdriver tip before you place the slide bracket against the side of the switch. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the opposite slide bracket. 2.3 Installing the Rack Mount Brackets This section describes how to mount the rack mount brackets to the rack columns. Figure 2-2 Attach the Rack Mount Brackets 4 2 1 3 5 6 The following list corresponds with the callouts shown in Figure 2-2. 1.
Figure 2-3 Alignment Washer The raised bumps on the alignment washers (Figure 2-3) face inward, toward the rack mount bracket’s threaded insert. Ensure that the rack mount bracket’s rear flange is aligned with the correct location on the rack’s front column as indicated by callout 3 in Figure 2-2. Clip the cage nuts into the holes in the rack’s front column as indicated by callout 4 in Figure 2-2. Push the clips through from the back of the column.
1. 2. Lift and align the switch so that the slide brackets are level with the rack mount brackets (see callout 1 in Figure 2-4. Slide the switch in until the thumb screws (quantity four) on the slide bracket align with the thread holes in the rack mount bracket (see callout 1 in Figure 2-5). Figure 2-5 Thumb Screw on the Slide Bracket (Quantity Four) 2 4 3 1 The following list corresponds to the callouts shown in Figure 2-5. 1. Thumb screw (quantity four) 2. Rear rack column 3. Slide bracket 4.
3 Cabling and Power Follow the installation instructions for the XC cluster upgrade bundle with which this kit was shipped. See Section 1.2 (page 3) for information on where you can obtain XC documentation resources. It is important that you connect the servers to the correct network cables and interconnect cables, and that you apply power in the correct sequence. For applications other than the XC series, see the cabling and power-on instructions shipped with your server.
4 Removing a Switch for Servicing Bring the cluster to an appropriate state for switch component removal and put the rack into a safe and stable state for component removal. You must ensure that you can easily reach the switch and handle it safely. To remove a switch from a rack, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. At the rack power distribution unit, power off the circuit to which the ProCurve Switch is connected. Disconnect the switches power cable.
