SAN24B-4 Express Installation, Service, and User Guide
– EZSwitchSetup CD
– One LC wrap plug
– Paperpack of optional features license and key activation information (if
ordered)
Attention: Retain this paperpack in a safe place. The transaction keys in
the paperpack are required for activation of optional features on the switch.
Once a feature is activated, its activation key is associated with a specific
product WWN and serial number.
Use this section to prepare your site for a safe and successful installation.
Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and
replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch
is to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel
can install and service these switches in such a rack.
Attention: Read the "Safety and environmental notices" on page xiv
before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures.
The switch can be installed either as a free-standing unit, or installed in an EIA
cabinet, using an optional slide-rail rack mount kit. When mounting into a
slide-rail rack, you can mount the chassis to slide from either the port side or the
nonport side.
To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the following standards are
met:
v The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and
grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.
v The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
v The power supply standards provided in "Power supply specifications" on page
36 are met.
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following
environmental requirements are met:
v At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the
nonport side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle.
v All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid
intaking exhaust air.
v A minimum of 680 l/min (24 cubic ft/min) of air flow is available to the air
intake vents on the nonport side of the switch.
v The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° C (104° F) while the switch is
operating.
