Installation Precautions
■The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices installed above.
■For safe operation do not install the switch with the side of the switch (with the fan vents) facing either downward or upward.
■Do not wall mount the■If one of the following switches is to be mounted in a rack, you can use a rail kit. Rail kit part number
•J9085A ProCurve Switch

•J9086A ProCurve Switch
■Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.
■If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, ensure the cord is adequately sized for the switch’s current requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch. If the PWR device’s supplied power cord does not fit, contact ProCurve Networking support.
■When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
■Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over- current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. Maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors.
■Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 50°C (122°F). This includes a
rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
■Ensure all port covers are installed when the port is not in use.
