Power Supply and Fans
The power supply converts standard 110 or 230 VAC to DC voltages for the
various switch circuits. Four internal fans provide cooling. The switch monitors
internal air temperature, and therefore does not monitor or report fan operational
status. 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. A management workstation connects to
the fabric through the Ethernet port of one or more switches and can provide
in-band management for all other switches in the fabric. Refer to the SANbox
5200 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)
Application Programming Interface (API)
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The command line interface provides monitoring and configuration functions by
which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is
available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Refer to
Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.
The SANbox Manager API enables an application provider to build a
management application for QLogic switches. The library is implemented in ANSI
standard C, relying only on standard POSIX run-time libraries (except for the
Windows NT build).
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.
Note: The power supply and fans are not field replaceable units.
