Verifying the installation requirements

To set up the SN4000B SAN Extension switch for
the first time, you will need the following:

rack. In this installation, the port side of the device
is set back from the edge of the rack, allowing a
more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.

The following items are required to install the device
in a rack:

• Workstation with an installed terminal emulator
(such as HyperTerminal)

• Unused IP address and corresponding subnet
mask and gateway address

• Serial cable (supplied with the switch)

• Ethernet cable

• Access to an FTP server, SCP server, or USB

device for backing up the switch configuration
(optional)

• SFP transceivers and cables

Planning the site environment

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 the
ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°C
(104°F) and that the ambient humidity remains
between 20% and 85% while the switch is
operating.

To install and operate the switch successfully,
ensure that:

• The primary AC input is 100–240 VAC, 50–60
Hz. The switch autosenses the input voltage.

• The primary outlet is wired correctly, protected
by a circuit breaker, and grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes.

• Power cables

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit hardware

Table 1 (page 2) identifies the rails and
rail-mounting hardware.

rail

A left inner rail and a left outer rail

Sixteen #8-32 x 5/16-inch Phillips
flathead SEMS screws

Twelve #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips

• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size
are adequate, as specified by the electrical
rating on the switch nameplate.

Guide available on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website: http://www.hpe.com/support/sn4000b/
manuals.

Installing the switch in a rack using the
Rack Mount Kit

For optimal cable management, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise recommends that you install the SAN
Switch Rack Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of
the device to slide out of the cool-air side of the

Eight #10 adapter washers

CAUTION: For proper air flow, the SFP+
media side of the device port side must face
the rear of the rack. This allows cool air to
enter the front of the rack and exit from the
rear.

To install the device in a rack:

1. Verify that the required parts and hardware are
available (see Table 1 (page 2)).

2. Choose a mounting location for the device in
the rack.

3. Attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear
rack uprights.

• Assemble each of the brackets using two

#10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips panhead screws
with captive star lock washers and two
#10 adapter washers, as shown in
Figure 2 (page 3).

4. Assemble the outer rails as follows:
a. Attach the left outer rail and right outer rail

to the rear mounting brackets using the
#10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips panhead screws
with captive star lock washers, as shown
in Figure 3 (page 3).Four screws are
required for attaching the outer rails.

Figure 2 Installing the rear mounting
brackets

NOTE: The SAN Switch Rack Mount

Kit contains outer rails labeled Left and
Right to designate the left side and right
side of the device or cabinet as viewed
from the front of the cabinet. The inner
rails are interchangeable and can be
used on either side of the switch.

b. Install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips

panhead screws with captive star lock
washers and two #10 adapter washers in
the upper and lower holes on the right rail.
Then install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips
panhead screws with captive star lock
washers and two #10 adapter washers in
the upper and lower holes on the left rail
(see Figure 4 (page 3)).
