For each director, fabric switch, SAN router, or FC-512 Fabricenter
equipment cabinet installed, design a site plan that provides efficient
work flow, operator convenience and safety, and adequate service
clearances for the equipment cabinet. A customer manager should
review the site plan with a service representative and consider:
•
Location and relationship of the physical facilities such as walls,
doors, windows, partitions, furniture, and telephones.
•
Proximity of the director, fabric switch, or SAN router to servers
and storage peripherals, and if a multiswitch fabric is to be
enabled, proximity of participating fabric elements to each other.
•
Location of at least one analog phone line (capable of providing
long-distance service) for the management server to support the
call-home feature or provide remote dial-in support. In addition,
consider accessibility to a second phone to aid in installation and
serviceability.
•
Availability of Ethernet local area network (LAN) connections
and cabling to support remote user workstation and simple
network management protocol (SNMP) management station
access. Remote user and SNMP workstations are optional.
•
Equipment cabinet locations, Ethernet cabling, and the Internet
protocol (IP) addressing scheme to support optional cabinet
interconnection and management server consolidation.
