San Switch 2/32 v4.1.x - Installation Guide

Installing the SAN Switch 2/32
34 SAN Switch 2/32 Version 4.1.x Installation Guide
Attaching the Rear or Front Rack Mount Brackets
The Rack Mount Kit supplied with the SAN Switch 2/32 contains two rear rack
mount brackets and two front rack mount brackets. To prevent the switch from
accidentally sliding out of the rack, install these rack mount brackets as described
in the following section.
Caution: HP recommends installing the SAN Switch 2/32 so that the port side
of the switch slides out the rear of the rack. (For example, the switch should
face the aisle where exhaust air is released. Air intake and exhaust for all
components in the rack should flow in the same direction.)
For Rear Rack Access
Use these steps to attach the rear rack mount brackets to the switch. The rear rack
mount brackets act as stops to prevent the switch from sliding out the rear of the
rack. Use these steps if you installed the inner slide rails to the switch using the
procedure outlined in “Attaching the Inner Slide Rails to the Switch,” step 1a.
1. Align the right rack mount bracket with the two screw holes at the port end of
the switch.
2. Locate two Phillips head 8-32 x 3/16 screws contained in the Rack Mount Kit.
Secure the right mount bracket to the switch; see Figure 5.
