Safety recommendations
W
ARNING!
Read all of the safety instructions in the
Compliance and Safety Gui de supplied with your device before
installation and operation.
This section provides general recommendations. For more information see the Compliance and Safety
Guide included with your device.
•Turn off all the power and remove all the power cables before opening the chassis.
•Unplug all power and external cables before moving the chassis.
•Locate the emergency power off switch before installation and shut off power immediately if
necessary.
•Always wear an ESD wrist strap when installing the device.
•Do not stare into the open optical interface; the high power density light can burn the retina.
•Use a good grounding system to protect your device against lightning shocks, interferences, and
ESD; this is essential to the operating reliability of your switch.
•Make sure the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.

Installation site requirements
This section provides information about temperature and humidity, cleanness, and air quality
requirements.
You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Long-term high
humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes, and metal
corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is too low, captive screws may become loose as the result
of contraction of insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to
jeopardize the circuits. High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the
aging of insulation materials and significantly lowers the reliability and service life of the switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see Table 10 in Appendix
A Technical specifications.

Rack-mounting requirements
Before rack-mounting a switch, make sure the rack meets the following requirements:
•HP recommends that you mount a switch in an open rack. If you mount a switch in a closed rack,
make sure there is a good heat dissipation system.
•Make sure the rack is steady enough to support the switch and accessories.
•Make sure the switch fits the rack size. Leave some spaces beside the left and right panels of the
switch for chassis heat dissipation.
Installation tools
•Phillips screwdriver P1-100mm, P2-150mm, and P3-250mm
•ESD wrist strap
All these installation tools are user supplied.

hen you install a 96G model or 96G TAA model switch, skip the procedure for installing an
expansion interface card. The switch does not support expansion interface cards.
Confirming installation preparations
Before you install the switch, make sure:
•You have read "Preparing for installation" carefully and the installation site meets all the
requirements.
•A 19-inch rack is ready for use. For how to install a rack, see the rack installation guide.

Each of the 48G model and 48G TAA model switches has one front mounting position near the
network ports and one rear mounting position near the power supplies. The switch also has one
primary grounding point with a grounding sign and one auxiliary grounding point. Use the primary
grounding point in most situations. If the primary grounding point fails or is not suitable for the
installation site, use the auxiliary grounding point.

Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the switch chassis
Use the following procedure for both sides of the chassis.
To attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the switch chassis:
1. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the rear mounting position (see Figure 8) or
front mounting position (see Figure 9).
2. Use M4 screws supplied with the switch to fix the mounting brackets to the chassis.

10
3. If the mounting brackets are in the rear mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw
holes at the front of the side panels (see Figure 8). If the mounting brackets are in the front
mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the rear of the side panels
(see Figure 9).
4. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the chassis rails to the chassis.
Connecting the grounding cable to the switch chassis
CAUTION:
The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the left side panel. If you
use either of the grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before
you mount the switch in the rack.
To connect the grounding cable to a chassis grounding point:
1. Select a grounding point, for example, the primary grounding point.
2. Remove the grounding screws from the primary grounding point. (You can use the screws for
connecting to the primary grounding point or the auxiliary grounding point.)
3. Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the
grounding point, insert the grounding screws into the holes, and tighten the screws with a
screwdriver to fix the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure 8.

or front mounting position (see Figure 12).

2. Use M4 screws supplied with the switch to fix the mounting brackets to the chassis.
3. Align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the side panels (see Figure 11 and Figure 12).
4. Use M4 screws supplied with the switch to fix the chassis rails to the chassis.
Connecting the grounding cable to the switch chassis
CAUTION:
The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the left side panel. If you
use either of the grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before
you mount the switch in the rack.
To connect the grounding cable to a chassis grounding point:
1. Choose a grounding point, for example, the primary grounding point.
2. Unpack the grounding cable and the grounding screws. (You can use the cable and screws for
connecting to the primary grounding point or the auxiliary grounding point.)
3. Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the
grounding point, insert the grounding screws into the holes, and tighten the screws with a
screwdriver to fix the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure 11.

To attach the slide rails to the rack:
1. Identify the rack attachment position for the slide rails.
2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use
screws (user-supplied) to fix the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure 13.
4. Repeat the preceding step to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side. Keep
the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can fit into the chassis rails.
Figure 13 Installing the slide rails
Mounting the switch on the rack requires two persons.
To mount the switch in the rack:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

2. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely fixed on the two sides of
the switch.
3. Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rack posts.
4. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts and make sure they are at the same level
as the slide rails.
5. Supporting the bottom of the switch, align the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack posts,
as shown in Figure 14. Work with another person to slide the chassis rails along the slide rails
until the mounting brackets flush with the rack posts.
6. Use appropriate screws to fix the mounting brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 15. Make
sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out of the chassis rails, as shown in callout 1
in Figure 15.

2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use
screws (user-supplied) to fix the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure 16.
4. Repeat the preceding steps to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side. Keep
the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can fix into the chassis rails.

2. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely fixed on the two sides of

5. Supporting the bottom of the switch, align the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack posts,
as shown in Figure 17. Work with another person to slide the chassis rails along the slide rails
until the mounting brackets flush with the rack posts.
6. Use appropriate screws to fix the mounting brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 18. To
ensure steadiness of the switch in the rack, make sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out
of the chassis rails, as shown in callout 1 in Figure 18.
