SANbox-16HA Fibre Channel Switch
Installer’s/User’s Manual 59005-03 Rev. A Installation 2-1
Section 2 Installation
Introduction
There are nine basic steps required to install the Switch.
1. Unpack
2. Place or Mount the Equipment
3. Apply the IEC Laser Safety Label (If the installation contains fiber optic
GBICs and is in Europe)
4. Install the GBICs
5. Connect the Switch to AC power
6. Check the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) results
7. Cable Fibre Channel Devices to the Switch
8. Configure the chassis
9. Configure the ports
Unpack
1. Unpack the Switch from the carton. There are no packing materials or
shipping fixtures located inside the chassis.
2. Ensure that the power cable has a plug that is suitable for your location.
QLogic supplies the Switch with a standard 3-wire computer-type power
cable. One end has an IEC 320 plug that mates with the power connector on
the front of the chassis. The other end must have a plug that is suitable for
your location. If the power cable has the wrong connection for your location,
you must supply your own. Refer to the specifications on page 2-5.
3. GBICs (if you have ordered them from QLogic) are packaged separately.
QLogic supplies one Loopback Plug for each type of GBIC you ordered. A
Loopback plug is a plug that, when fully inserted into a GBIC port, intercon-
nects transmit and receive for that port. In case of a suspected GBIC failure,
you may use these Loopback Plugs, in conjunction with a test, to verify the
operation of a GBIC. Refer to “Fibre Channel Port Loop-back Test Failure (8
Blinks)” on page 3-10 for more information.
