4.Attach each outer rail as shown in Figure 5 (page 4).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate the left side and right side of the rack as viewed from the front of the cabinet.
Figure 5 Attaching the outer rails
a.Slide the rail over the rear mounting bracket.
b.Attach the front of the rail to a front rack upright column using two Phillips screws and adapter washers.
c.Attach the outer rail to the rear mounting brackets using a Phillips screw.
TIP: Tighten the rear screws just enough for the end of the screw to go through the rear bracket. Later in the procedure, you will need room to slide the inner rail between the screw head and the outer bracket.
5.From the front of the rack, slide the switch (with inner rails attached) onto the outer rails, taking care to align the inner rails with the attachment screws on the outer rails at the rear of the rack. See Figure 6 (page 4).

6.When the switch is in place, secure the inner rails to the outer rails by tightening the screws at the rear of the rack.
7.At the front of the rack, run the switch power cords from the sides of the rack through the cutouts in the rail, and then connect them to the switch
power supplies. Connect two power cords to the
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the power cords do not come in contact with any sharp edges.
NOTE: If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply, the

9.Power on the power supplies by setting the power switches to the ON position ().
The power supply LEDs are amber until the Power On Self Test (POST) is complete, and then change to green. The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE: When installed, the plenum covers the power supply switches and LEDs. However, the LEDs are visible through the air holes in the front of the plenum.
10.Slide the plenum over the nonport side of the inner rails, taking care to bypass the power cables. See Figure 7 (page 4).
11.Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the plenum to the front of the rack.
