Installing the SAN Switch

33SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide

Note: HP highly recommends mounting the switch in a cabinet or rack so that the fans

reside in the front of the cabinet, and the ports (cables) reside in the rear of the cabinet.

Follow these guidelines to ensure proper air flow, and prevent component

overheating:

■ To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the non-port side,

which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle.

■ Verify a minimum of 47 cubic feet/minute (79.8 cubic meters/hour) of air

flow is available to the air intake vents on the non-port side of the switch.

■ Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° Celsius

(104° Fahrenheit) while the switch is operating.

Caution: Do not block air vents. The switch uses ambient air for cooling.

Power Requirements

The AC power source must meet these requirements:

■ Primary AC Input 100–240 VAC (switch auto-senses input voltage) 47–63 Hz

■ Correctly wired primary outlet, with circuit protected by a circuit breaker and

grounded in accordance with local electrical codes

■ Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the

electrical rating on the switch nameplate

■ Voltage capability of 85–264 VAC

■ Input voltage frequency of 47–63 Hz

■ Power capability of 75 W minimum
