Installation Procedures
Mounting a 6600 Switch with the 4-Post Rack Mount Kit
6600 Switches are designed to be mounted in a 4-post rack. To mount a 6600
Switch in a 4-post rack in an equipment cabinet, you must use the HP Procurve
6600 Switch: 4-Post Rack Mount Kit (J9469A).
To mount a 6600 Switch in a 4-post rack, follow these steps. Refer to the HP
ProCurve 6600 Switch: 4-Post Rack Mount Kit Installation Instructions for
additional information.
1. Determine the height at which you want to mount the switch in the rack,
and whether the switch ports will face the hot-aisle or the cold-aisle side
of an equipment cabinet. Unpack the contents of the 4-Post Rack Mount
Kit (J9469A) required for your 4-post mounting.
Power Cord
Note
When you mount a 6600 switch in a 4-post equipment rack, remember that if
the switch ports face in the same direction as the network ports on the servers,
you may have to wrap the power cord over the top of the switch to reach the
opposite side of the rack where the power source is.
2. Install the two rails in the 4-post rack.
Align the mounting holes at each end of a rail with the holes on the front
and back rack posts so that they are at the same height.
For a square-hole rack, leave the pre-installed square-hole pin in each rail.
Unscrew and re-install the 10-32 screw on each rail to secure it to the rack.
(For a square-hole Panduit rack with grounding strips, unscrew the 10-32
screws and install the green grounding screws (5183-2026) shipped with
the 4-Post Rack Mount Kit.)
For a round-hole rack, install the alternate round-hole pins that are
shipped with the kit to set the rails in the rack. Install the alternate round-
hole screws to secure the rails. (The round-hole screws have a different
shoulder than the square-hole screws.)
Figure 2-6. Installing Rails in a 4-Post Rack
Install a 10-32 shoulder screw in the top hole.
Use an alignment pin in the bottom hole to
align each rail.
