Locating SAN Switch 2/32 Serial Numbers
Before contacting HP for technical support or service, obtain the three serial
numbers located on the switch. Each serial number provides specific logistical
information, identifying the device’s manufacturing location.
Installation Guidelines
Read the following sections for installation guidelines. Install the SAN Switch
2/32 in one of the following ways:
■ As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. For instructions, see Setting Up the
Switch as a Stand-alone Unit, page 25.
■ As a fixed component using the SAN Switch rack mount kit. For instructions,
see Installing the Switch in a Rack Using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit,
page 26.
Selecting an Operating Location
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32
To ensure correct operation of the switch, the location where the switch is to be
used must meet the following requirements:
■ Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
■ An air flow of at least 300 cubic feet per minute, available in the immediate
vicinity of the switch.
■ If you are installing the switch in the HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack:
— All equipment installed in the rack should have a reliable branch circuit
ground connection, and should not rely on a connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
— The rack should be balanced and the installed equipment should be within
the rack’s weight limits. Make sure the rack is mechanically secured to
ensure stability in the event of an earthquake.
23SAN Switch 2/32 Version 4.2.x Installation Guide
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32
Cooling Requirements
Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the
chassis. The air is expelled through vents in the front (port side) of the chassis,
next to the HP logo. HP recommends installing the switch so that air intake and
exhaust for all components in the rack is flowing in the same front-to-back
direction.
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 that 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.
24 SAN Switch 2/32 Version 4.2.x Installation Guide
Power Requirements
Two AC power cords connect to the switch on either side of the rear panel. The
AC power source must meet the following 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 watts maximum
The switch has a universal power supply capable of functioning worldwide
without voltage jumpers or switches. The power supply is auto ranging in terms of
accommodating input voltages and line frequencies.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32
Setting Up the Switch as a Stand-alone Unit
