Installing the Fibre Channel Switches into a Rack
Installing the switches into the rack involves attaching rails to the Fibre Channel switches and then
mounting them into the rack. Install the switches immediately above the nodes previously installed.
1. Locate the following items and set them aside on a stable work surface:
• Two Fibre Channel switches and two AC power cords
• 1U rails, adjustable mounting flanges, two 1U cover plates, and hardware to secure the
rails to the rack
• Screws to secure rails to the switch
2. Connect the two AC power cords to the two power supplies on the rear of both Fibre Channel
switches.
3. Attach the rails to the sides of the switches, using screws provided.
4. On the rack vertical posts, mark the holes that will be used by the rail flanges (three on each
front vertical post and two on each rear vertical post); the switch will be installed at rack
position 41. Then, from the inside of each vertical post, insert a cage-nut into each marked
hole.
