Preliminary
Unpack
SANbox-16STD Fibre Channel Switch
2-2 Installation 59012-03 Rev. A Installer’s/User’s Manual
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 2-6.
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 3-6 for more information.
Place or Mount the Equipment
The Switch may be placed on a flat surface and stacked, or mounted in a 19” EIA
rack. The Switch comes with rubber feet on the bottom for placing it on a flat
surface.
Air flow may be front-to-back or back-to-front depending on the Switch model.
The top of each chassis has dimples for the rubber feet of a chassis stacked on top.
Allow 163mm (6.5”) front, left side, and back.
Shelf Mount
If you are not going to rack-mount the Switch, simply place it on a flat surface
being careful not to obstruct the air flow through the chassis.
NOTE:
If this chassis is part of a Multistage Switch please read Section 5 Multi-Chassis
Fabrics. It may affect the way you place or mount this chassis.
