Mounting the Switch in a 2-Post Telco Rack
The accessory kit shipped with a 6600 Switch contains the parts used to mount
the switch in a 2-post telco rack:
■ Two mounting brackets for a 2-post telco rack
■ Eight M4 (8 mm) screws to attach the mounting brackets (four screws per
bracket)
■ Four 12-24 (5/8 inch) screws to attach the mounting brackets to a 2-post
telco rack (two screws per post)
The 12-24 screws shipped with the switch have the correct threading for
standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks.
Although the 2-post mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can
be rotated for different mounting options, HP ProCurve recommends that you
always mount a 6600 Switch in a 2-post telco rack in the balanced position
shown in Figure 2-21.

To mount a 6600 Switch in a 2-post telco rack, follow these steps:
1. Using a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver, install the 2-post mounting
brackets at the center of the switch with the M4 (8 mm) screws. Use four
screws per bracket.
2. Determine the height at which you want to mount the switch in the rack
and with the help of another person, lift the switch into place.
3. Insert and tighten the 12-24 (5/8-inch) screws to secure each 2-post
bracket to the rack. Use two screws per post.
4. Connect the power cords to the switch and secure the cords with a velcro
strap (as shown Figure 2-22) as follows:
