Step 3. Stack Switches If your switch is licensed for 20 ports, or you have activated the 10-Gbps ports using the mPort Technology feature in Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, you can connect up to six switches together through the 10-Gbps ports using XPAK switch stacking cables.
Step 4. Install Transceivers An SFP transceiver is required for each switch port that will be connected to a device or another switch. The SANbox 5200 series switches support 1-Gbps and 2-Gbps transmission. The SANbox 5600 series switches support 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, and 4-Gbps transmission.
Step 10. Connect Devices and Switches ❑ Connect fiber optic cables between the installed transceivers and their corresponding devices. Each port auto-negotiates the proper port type with the connected device or switch. Congratulations! You have successfully installed your QLogic SANbox 5000 Series Switch!
