Installing the Series 8200zl Switch

Installation Procedures

 

Installation Precautions (continued)

 

 

C a u t i o n s

■ If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, use only an HP 10000 series rack

 

and a rail mounting kit (5070-0145) for each switch and ensure the power

 

supplies have been removed before shipping.

 

■ 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 and power supply, be sure 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 and power supply.

 

■ When installing the switch, note that 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. Each power supply should be connected to a dedi-

 

cated branch circuit to prevent tripping building circuit breakers. 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. The

 

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 40°C (104°F).

 

■ Allow three to four inches of space around the sides and back of the

 

switch to make sure the air flow for the switch is not restricted.
