Tips for Installing More than One Switch
Review the following tips.
• Install the first Director 2/64 in the lowest position of the rack, allocated for
switches.
• Consider leaving a space of 1U open at the top and bottom of the rack, to allow
easier cabling access.
• If installing more than one switch, HP recommends installing an optional Power
Distribution Unit (PDU) in the bottom of the rack. HP ships two PDU power
cords with the Director 2/64.
• Install additional Director 2/64s in position directly above one another.
• Make sure to connect power cables as you install each individual switch.
Moving the Director 2/64
Use these steps to position the Director 2/64 next to the rack.
WARNING: Two people will need to work together to transfer the Director 2/64 to
the lift. Make sure the wheels of the lift cannot roll as you transfer the
Director 2/64 to the lift. Move the Director 2/64 slowly and carefully onto the lift
to prevent back and hand injury. Dropping the Director 2/64 could injure
personnel or damage the equipment.
1. Position the lift device next to the Director 2/64.
