Installing a Switch
Environmental Conditions
Consider the factors that affect the climate in your facility such as equipment
heat dissipation and ventilation. The switch requires the following operating
conditions:
• Operating temperature range: 5 – 40°C (41 – 104°F)
•Relative humidity: 5 – 90%, non-condensing
Installing a Switch
Installing a McDATA 4314 switch module involves the following steps:
1. Install SFP transceivers.
2. Insert the switch module in the server chassis.
3. Connect the management workstation to the switch module.
4. Install the EFCM BASIC application.
5. Configure the switch module.
6. Cable devices to the switch module.
Install SFP Transceivers
The switch module has been validated with transceivers that support a
variety of interconnection media. To install a transceiver, insert the
transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a
transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension,
then pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different
transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the
documentation for your transceiver.
NOTE: The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
