Standalone Installation; Installing The Universal Four-Post Rack Kit - IBM Storage Networking SAN128B-6 Installation, Service And User Manual

Standalone installation

About this task
Complete the following steps to install the device as a standalone unit on a table.
Procedure
1. Unpack the device and verify the items listed under "Shipping carton contents" on page 12 are
present and undamaged.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to the underside of the device. The rubber feet help prevent the device
from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the device to ensure that they are free of
dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press
into place.
3. Place the device on a sturdy flat surface.
4. Provide power to the device as described in "Providing power to the device" on page 37.
Note: Do not connect the device to the network until the IP address is set correctly. For instructions
on how to set the IP address, refer to "Configuring the IP address" on page 38.

Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit

Use the following instructions to install 1U and 2U devices in EIA racks that are between L-12.7 to 81.28
cm deep (L-5.0 to 32.0 in.), where L is the chassis depth, using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit.
There are two ways you can mount the device in a four-post rack:
v With the port side flush with the front posts.
v With the nonport side flush with the rear posts in a recessed position. A recessed position allows a
more gradual bend in the fiber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at
the front of the rack.

Note that if chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis will not fit into a rack with a
maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) using the universal four-post rack kit. The maximum rack depth for
a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is 81.28 cm (32 in.) minus the difference between the chassis depth
and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.) is 5.08 cm (2 in.)
smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it will install into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) -
5.08 cm (2 in.) = 76.2 cm (30 in.).
