Chapter 2. Installing and removing a SAN768B

The SAN768B is only available for installation in the IBM TotalStorage 2109 SAN
Switch Cabinet C36. This SAN768B is to be installed and serviced only by qualified
IBM service representatives. The SAN768B can be ordered pre-installed in the
cabinet, or the SAN768B can be added to an existing C36 cabinet. The cabinet is
designed to support a total of two SAN256Bs or SAN768Bs. The SAN384B can also
be installed in the C36 cabinet.
Attention: The SAN768B is only available for installation in the IBM TotalStorage
2109 SAN Switch Cabinet C36. The SAN768B can be pre-installed in the cabinet, or
it can be added to an existing IBM C36 cabinet. For installation into an existing
C36 cabinet, a special bridge tool ships with the SAN768B which is designed to
attach to the IBM C36 cabinet. This bridge tool supports the weight of the director
as it is moved into the cabinet. This tool may not attach to non-IBM cabinets. There
is a risk of personal injury or machine damage during installation into any cabinet
other than the approved IBM cabinets .
This chapter describes how to install the SAN768B into a C36 cabinet, and how to
remove the SAN768B from the cabinet in the event you need to move or replace
the SAN768B. One SAN768B is installed in the cabinet at the factory. If the
SAN768B is already installed in the cabinet, continue on to Chapter 3, "Starting
and configuring the SAN768B," on page 31.

the additional weight, include the weights of all components that can potentially
be added, to avoid overloading in the future.
