See Installing the switch using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit on page 41 for detailed instructions.

Electrical considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following electrical requirements are met. For power supply information, see SAN Switch technical specifications on page 131.

Primary AC input 100–240 VAC, 2.0 A, 47–63 Hz (switch autosenses input voltage)

A correctly wired primary outlet, with a 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

Environmental considerations

Before installing the switch:

To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the nonport side (which contains the air intake vents) facing the cool-air aisle.

Verify that a minimum of 24 cubic ft/minute of airflow is available to the air intake vents on the nonport side of the switch.

Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 ºC (104 ºF) while the switch is operating.
