Installing and Configuring the Director 2/64
• For a 9000/10000/11000 rack:
— #2 Phillips screwdriver
— Torx head driver T25
Tips for Installing More than One Switch
Review the following tips:
• Install the first director in the lowest position of the rack, allocated for switches.
• If installing more than one switch, Hewlett-Packard recommends installing an
optional PDU in the bottom of the rack. Hewlett-Packard ships two PDU power
cords with the Director 2/64.
• Install additional switches in position directly above one another.
• Make sure to connect power cables as you install each individual switch.
Transfer the Director to the Lift Device
Use these steps to position the Director 2/64 next to the rack.
WARNING: The Director 2/64 weighs approximately 115 pounds. Use proper
handling and lifting equipment to reduce the possibility of injury or product
damage.
Two people will need to work together to transfer the director to the lift. Make
sure the wheels of the lift cannot roll as you transfer the director to the lift. Move
the director slowly and carefully onto the lift to prevent back and hand injury.
Dropping the director could injure personnel or damage the equipment.
1. Position the lift device next to the director.
2. Using a pallet jack, raise the pallet on which the director is mounted to the same
height as the top surface of the lift device.
3. Slide the director across from the pallet to the lift device.
4. Determine the appropriate rack-mount position. Remember that the director is 9U
(15.75 inches) high.
