2–2 director 2/64 installation guide
Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64
• Verify that there is space in the rack. The director is 9U (15.75 in) high. In
addition, 1U is required in the HP rack system/e and industry-standard 19-in racks
for the rail tray kit. Note that the tray provides 1U of space for cable management.
• Verify that the rack is stable.
• If applicable, obtain the necessary remote workstations or Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) workstations. Workstations are customer-supplied
and connected through a corporate or dedicated LAN.
• Verify that all other equipment installed in the rack is connected to a reliable
ground connection; do not rely on connections to a branch circuit, such as a power
strip.
• Hewlett-Packard recommends securing the rack mechanically to prevent it from
tipping over during a natural disaster, such as an earthquake.
