Installation Precautions
WARNING ■ 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.
■ Do not wall mount a 6600 Switch.
Cautions ■ When you mount a 6600 Switch:
• In a 2-post telco rack, use the rail mounting brackets and screws in
the accessory kit shipped with the switch (5070-6315 or 5070-6316).
• In an HP 10000 Series cabinet, use the HP 10000 Series Cabinet: Rack
Mount Kit (5070-0145).
• In a 4-post equipment rack, use the HP Procurve 6600 Switch: 4-Post
Rack Mount Kit (J9469A).
■ 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, 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. 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).
■ Ensure the air flow around the front and back of the switch is not
restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling. See Figure 2-5 for
the air flow direction.
