Step 1: Mount the anti-tip feet
(HP Rosebowl II rack only)
Place the anti-tip feet (A) on the front and back of the
rack base. Use the supplied hardware to bolt the feet
to the base of the rack. Be sure to lower the rack feet
(B) until they touch the floor.
Step 2: Select the mounting location for
the rail tray
The rail tray will be mounted 1U below the switch.
Because the switch should be mounted no higher
than U11, the tray should be mounted no higher than
U10. Make sure there are at least 2Us above the top
of the switch empty for the sliding shelf.

the switch (the lowest being U1). Attach the rear rail-
tray brackets to the rear rack uprights at U1. Use one
M5 Torx screw for each bracket.
Step 4: Install the Tinnerman nuts on the
front uprights
Install the Tinnerman nuts for the top holes of U1 in

Step 5: Insert the rail tray in the rack
Position the rail tray as shown in the following figure
and insert it into the rack from the front. The slots in
the sides of the rail tray must slide over the posts on
the rear rail-tray brackets, and the posts on the rail
tray’s front mounting flanges must be inserted in the
center holes of U1.
Step 6: Secure the rail tray
Insert the M5 Torx screws through the top holes in
both of the rail tray mounting flanges. The screws
pass through the holes in the rack uprights and
thread into the Tinnerman nuts you installed on the
uprights in Step 4. Tighten the screws.
Step 7: Prepare the front rack columns
Standing at the front of the rack, count up from the
top of the rail tray (A) to the 13th, 19th, and 23rd
holes on the rack's front face.
Slide a sheet metal nut (B) on each of the located
holes. You should have three sheet metal nuts on
each front column face (C).

Step 8: Prepare the back rack columns
Standing at the back of the rack, count up from the
the top of the rail tray (A) to 12th and 28th on the
rack’s back face.
Slide a sheet metal nut (B) on each of the located
holes. You should have two sheet metal nuts on each
back column face (C).
Step 9: Install the rack mount kit on the
switch
Position the front mounting bracket (A) so that its
angled side faces out and it is on upper part of
switch's side. Using the two center threaded holes on
the front side of the switch, attach the bracket with
flat-head Phillips screws (B). Attach the front
mounting brackets on both sides of the switch.
Position the rear mounting bracket (C) so that its
center holes (D) line up with the first and third
threaded holes on the back portion of the switch's
side. The slotted end (E) of the bracket should face
towards the back of the switch. Using two flat-head
Phillips screws, attach the rear mounting bracket to
the switch. Attach both rear mounting brackets.

Step 10: Position the switch on the rails
Using a lifting jack, position the switch. Slide the
switch back on the rails until the front mounting
brackets are against the front rack columns.
The use of the Genie Load Lifter is recommended.
Step 11: Mount the switch in the rack
On one side of the back of the switch, position an
angle bracket (A) so that its threaded holes (B) are
against the slots (C) of the rear mounting bracket and
its angled side faces out. Insert the screws (D)
through the rear mounting bracket's slots into the
threaded nuts of the angle bracket. Insert a second
set of screws (E) through the angle bracket and the
rail column into the sheet metal nuts on the back rail
(F).
Repeat the steps above for the other side of the back
of the switch.
At the front of the rack, insert the screws through the
front mounting brackets into the sheet metal nuts that
you installed in the rail columns in Step 7. Tighten the
screws.

Step 12: Install the sliding shelf brackets
(Management Station only)
Select a U slot above the switch.
On each back column of the rack, locate the hole (A)
that is 2 holes up from the EIA number of the
selected U slot (B). Line up this hole with the
threaded hole on the bracket's side. Using a screw
(C), attach the rack to the bracket. Attach another
screw (D) loosely in the hole on the inside face of the
bracket (E).
Slide the shelf into the rack. Each rail's back slot (A)
should slide over the loose screws (B) on the
brackets' inside faces.

holes on the rack columns (B).
At the back of the rack, tighten the screws that attach
the shelf rails to the mounting brackets.
Recommended Cable Management
Perform the following instructions after installating
the switch:
• Install two cable restraints on each side of the
rack (A) in positions that will hold the Fibre
Channel cables away from the power supply.
• Form loose bundles of the installed Fibre
Channel cables (B) on the right and left sides.
• On each side, wrap the cable bundles with the
cable restraints in two positions that maintain
clearance for power supply access (C).
