| Unpacking the Switch
Chapter 2
This chapter explains how to unpack the LSISAS6160 SAS switch, install it on an
optional rack shelf, connect power cables and other cables to it, change the default
Static IP address, and connect SAS storage devices to it. This chapter also explains how
to interpret the LEDs on the switch.
2.1 Unpacking the Switch Place the SAS6160 switch shipping carton on a grounded surface before removing the
switch from the carton. Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack its contents.
The carton contains the following items:
One SAS6160 SAS switch
One AC power cord with inline power supply
One CD-ROM which contains this documentation
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your local reseller for
replacement.
2.2 Identifying Switch
Components
The following figure shows the connectors and LEDs on the SAS6160 switch. There is a
fault status LED and an activity LED for each of the 16 SAS connectors. There is also a
power status LED for the switch, and a rate LED and activity LED for the Ethernet
connector. A reset pinhole allows reloading the factory defaults, which also requires
power cycling the switch (see Chapter5, Troubleshooting).
