Power Supply and Fan
The power supply converts standard 110 or 230 VAC to DC voltages for the
various switch circuits. An internal fan provides cooling. Air flow can be
front-to-back or back-to-front depending on the switch model. To energize the
switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC receptacle and into a 110 or 230
VAC power source.

Switch Management
SANbox Manager is a workstation-based Java® application that provides a
graphical user interface for fabric management. This application runs on a
Windows®, Solaris®, or Linux® workstation. The management workstation
connects to the fabric directly through one switch’s Ethernet port and provides
in-band management for all other switches in the fabric. Refer to the
SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about the
SANbox Manager application and its use.
In addition to SANbox Manager, the switch supports the following management
tools:
■ Command Line Interface (CLI)
■ File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
■ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The CLI provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the
administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. Refer to
Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.
FTP provides the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch
and the management workstation. These files include firmware image files,
configuration files, and log files.
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox2 firmware
supports SNMP version 1and 2, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base
(FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information Base
(FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps are formatted using SNMP version 2.
Note: The power supply and fan are not field replaceable units.
