Quick Start Guide
2 INSTALLING THE SWITCH This chapter provides the step-by-step instructions for installing the FC Switch 6164 in either a HP rack or a Compaq/Rittal 19-inch rack. Note Most of the steps in this procedure are unnecessary if the FC 6164 was installed at an HP integration center prior to shipment. However, Steps 16 and 17 (assembling and installing the plenum) and Step 19 (installing the switch door) must be performed for factory-integrated switches (see pages 29 and 32).
Rack-Mount Safety Guidelines In a rack-mount installation, follow these safety guidelines: • When installing a switch in a closed or multi-rack assembly, make certain the air temperature, measured at the front panel, does not exceed 40° C during operation. • Ensure that the airflow available to the switch is at least 300 cfpm. • Verify the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer to the switch’s nameplate for its power requirements.

When installing the rail tray in a Compaq/Rittal rack, ignore the mounting instructions on the label attached to the rail tray (some rail trays do not have this label). Note c. Install Tinnerman nuts for the top holes of RU-1 in both of the rack’s front uprights (see Figure 5). The Tinnerman nuts used for the two types of racks (HP and Compaq/Rittal) are of different styles and different sizes.
d. For a Compaq/Rittal rack, insert spacers in the holes immediately below the Tinnerman nuts you inserted in Step 3c (see Figure 5). e. Orient the rail tray as shown in Figure 6, and insert it into the rack from the front. The slots in the sides of the rail tray must slide over the posts on the rear rail-tray brackets, and the posts on the rail tray’s front mounting flanges must be inserted in the center holes of RU-1. Figure 6. Inserting the Rail Tray in the Rack f.
4. Place a shim plate on each side of the rail tray (see Figure 7). Figure 7. Placing the Shim Plates on the Rail Tray The shim plates must be placed on top of both sides of the rail tray to prevent misalignment between the mounting holes in the switch flanges and the holes in the rack uprights.
5. Insert Tinnerman nuts onto the center holes of RU-5 and the top holes of RU-12 in both of the rack’s rear uprights (see Figure 8). 12 12 11 11 M5 Tinnerman nuts #10-32Tinnerman nuts 5 5 4 4 Rack uprights 1 HP Rack 1 Rittal Rack Figure 8. Installing Tinnerman Nuts in RU-5 and RU-12 6. Install the rack-mount brackets on the switch: a. The rack-mount brackets consist of a stationary plate and an adjustable plate that are attached to each other with two screws.
b. Use four #8-32 x 5/16-inch Phillips flat-head screws to mount one of the stationary plates onto each side of the switch. The plates must be oriented so that the end of the plate that has the slotted holes protrudes past the back of the switch, and if the plate has arrows stamped into it, the arrows must point up (see Figure 10). Do not tighten the screws fully at this time. Some stationary plates have arrows stamped into them, and some do not.
7. If you have adequate access to the back of the rack to insert the switch from the back, skip Steps 8, 9, and 10. If you do not have adequate access to the back of the rack, proceed with Step 8. Note If you cannot insert the switch into the rack from the back, you must remove several pieces of hardware from the sides of the switch at the front end as described in Steps 8, 9, and 10. If you have adequate access to insert the switch into the rack from the back, you can skip these steps. 8.
9. Remove the two screws that attach the latch plate to the right side of the switch at the front, and remove the latch plate (see Figure 12). Set the latch plate and the screws aside for later use. The latch plate fits through a cutout in the rack-mounting flange on the right side of the switch. Note Rack-mounting flange Latch plate Figure 12. Removing the Latch Plate and the Mounting Flanges 10.
WARNING If the rack you are mounting the switch in is on wheels, make sure the leveling feet are down or the wheels are locked to prevent the rack from moving while you are installing the switch. Failure to prevent the rack from moving could result in injury to personnel and/or damage to the switch, the rack, or other equipment. 11. Insert the switch in the rack: WARNING The FC 6164 weighs approximately 200 pounds.
12.If you inserted the switch into the rack from the back, skip this step. Reinstall the removed hardware: a. Use the 16 #10-32 Phillips screws you removed in Step 10 to re-attach the rack-mounting flanges to the switch (see Figure 12). b. Use the two screws you removed in Step 9 to re-attach the latch plate (see Figure 12). Make sure that there is a gap of approximately 3/16-inch between the edges of the latch plate and the edges of the cutout in the rack-mounting flange. c.
Figure 14. Re-attaching the Rack-Mount Bracket Adjustable Plates c. Insert the screws you removed in Step 6a through the slotted holes in the stationary plate and into the second set of threaded holes in the adjustable plate from the rack-mounting flange (see Figure 14). Do not tighten the screws at this time. d. Repeat Steps b and c for the rack-mount bracket on the opposite side of the switch. e. Move the switch forward in the rack as far as it can go.
14.From the back of the rack, insert four #10-32 x 5/8-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive lock washers through the holes in the rack-mount flanges attached to the front end of the switch and into the Tinnerman nuts you placed in the rack in Step 5 (see Figure 8 and Figure 15). Tighten the screws fully. For an HP rack, you may have to adjust the positions of the Tinnerman nuts to get them to align properly with the holes in the rack uprights.
15.Fully tighten the screws that attach the rack-mount bracket adjustable plates to rack uprights, then fully tighten the screws that attach the adjustable plates to the stationary plates and the screws that attach the stationary plates to the switch chassis (see Figure 14). 16.Assemble the plenum: a. Position the bottom panel of the plenum on a flat surface with the two folded ends facing up (see Figure 16). Adhesive strips Adhesive strips Bottom of plenum Adhesive strips Figure 16.
e. Carefully position the plenum top panel over the side panels so that the folded ends of the top panel face down and are outside of the side panels. f. With the top panel aligned with the side panels, press one of the side panels firmly against the inner surface of the folded end of the top panel to ensure that the adhesive strip on the side panel makes full contact with the folded end of the top panel. Repeat this step for the other side panel. 17.Install the plenum in the rack: a.
18.Install the front bezel: a. Orient the front bezel so that its outer surface is facing you. b. Align the bottom end of the front bezel with the bottom edge of the rail tray (see Figure 18). There are two alignment posts and two spring clips on each side of the bezel that grip the rack uprights and hold the bezel in position. Each of the lower alignment posts fits into the second unused hole above the front mounting flange on each side of the rail tray. Figure 18. Installing the Front Bezel c.
19.Install the switch door: a. Rotate the knobs on the switch door so that they are in the down position and the springs are compressed. b. Position the door so that the hinge pins are between the loops on the hinge plates mounted on the switch (see Figure 13 and Figure 19). When you rotate the door to the closed position, the spring-loaded hinge pins will snap into the loops on the hinge plates. Note Figure 19.
