Installation and Safety Considerations

You can install the SAN Switch 2/8V or 2/16V using one of the following
methods:
1. As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface.
2. In an Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet using a sliding rail rack

Electrical Considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following
electrical requirements are met. For power supply information, refer to
Specifications" on page 87.

Environmental Considerations

SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide
mount kit, which is provided with the switch.
Primary AC input 100-240 VAC (switch auto-senses input voltage),
47-63 Hz.
Correctly wired primary outlet, with circuit protected by a circuit breaker and
grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.
Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the
non-port side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle.
Verify that a minimum of 24 cubic ft./minute of air flow is available to the air
intake vents on the nonport side of the switch.
Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 C (104 F) while
the switch is operating.
If installing the switch in a cabinet:
— The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet.
— Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit (1.75 inches; 4.45 cm) high, 19
inches (48.3 cm) wide, and at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep.
— Ground all equipment in cabinet through a reliable branch circuit
connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary
connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
