Switch characteristics

The following sections describe the physical characteristics of the switch.

Port side of the SAN16B-2 switch

Figure 1 on page 3 shows the port side of the switch. The serial port, Ethernet port,
and the Fibre Channel ports are all located on this side of the switch. All LEDs are
also located on the port side of the switch. These LEDs display the system status,
power status, port status, and port speed. See "Interpreting LED activity" on page
21 for a complete description of the locations and interpretations of these LEDs.
The switch enclosure has forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the
non-port side of the chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting through the
holes on the port side. Three dual speed fans provide the cooling for the switch.
