Storageworks 8/20q SAN switch hardware

[Sludge]

Hi guys,

dont know if this is the right place to ask this but i am trying to locate the rackmounting kit for an older SAN switch we have. I cant find a option or spare number online, though it should share this rail with the SN6000 switches.

Thanks in advance,

Ruud

Ruud - please provide model/ of older SAN switch, I'll try to locate the right rack kit P/N.

The switch (8/20q - SN6000) could be AW575B, AW576B or BK780B for example.

Thanks Torsten - based on the available info, this qlogic switch has a Compaq made rail kit P/N 445670-002. After market for this part is pretty thin but available online. Instructions for this part are here - https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02036709 - Good luck!

I believe it is a subassembly 445670-002 that shipped with the 8/20q and the SN6000 (16Gb) switch. I believe it might be obsolete but I did find one on a UK Ebay site

Hi there, you may can try it with the Universal Rack Mount Kit for Brocade units - HPE P/N A7511A ... but without any guarantee. Regards, Norbert
