To avoid injuring yourself or damaging an expansion unit, you must work with at least two other people when you install an expansion unit in the rack.
- Page 9 Setting the speed switch Make sure that all expansion unit speed switches are set to the correct position for your application. For example, if connecting to an N3700 storage system, the speed switch must be set to the 1Gb position. If connecting to an N5000 series or an N7000 series storage system, the speed switch must be set to the 2Gb position.
