Environmental conditions
Consider the factors that affect the climate in your facility such as equipment heat dissipation and
ventilation. The switch requires the following operating conditions:
•
Operating temperature range: 5–35°C (41–95°F)
•
Relative humidity: 5–90%, non-condensing
Upgrading the Interconnect switch
CAUTION:
First installation of a SAN Switch into an Interconnect switch requires installation of the FC
signal conditioning card into the Interconnect switch, if not already installed, shall result in the loss of
Ethernet network communication between the server blade network ports that are connected through the
Interconnect switch and the segment of Ethernet network infrastructure whose ports need to communicate.
For continued Blade server network communication and services availability, redirect critical
high-availability services or applications to the redundant network ports available on those Blade servers
that are connected through the redundant Interconnect switch in the enclosure.
1.
Power down the Interconnect switch.
2.
Remove the Interconnect switch.
3.
Remove the Interconnect switch cover. Note that some models of the Interconnect switch require a
screwdriver to release a latch which loosens the cover.
4.
Install the FC signal conditioning card if not already installed.
5.
Replace the Interconnect switch cover and insert the Interconnect switch back into the enclosure.
Installing the SAN Switch
Remove the protective foam from the prongs on the back of the SAN Switch. Install the SAN Switch into the
back of the Interconnect switch. The handle of the SAN Switch should always be on the left.
