Q-Logic 5800V SERIES Manuel D’Utilisation

5

An SFP transceiver is required for each SFP port that will be connected to a device or another switch. The SFP ports 
support 2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, and 8-Gbps transmission. The XPAK ports support 10-Gbps transmission and can be upgraded 
to 20-Gbps with a license key.

The standard switch model activates SFP ports 0–7 plus the XPAK ports (20-23). You can activate ports 8–19 in four-port 
increments with the purchase of a Port Activation license key. Contact your authorized reseller for information about 
license keys.

If your SANbox 5802V switch came with 20 SFPs and a 3-inch stacking cable, ports 0–23 are active. 

❑

To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the switch port and gently press until it snaps in place. The 
transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

❑

Attach the AC power cord(s) to the switch and wall 
outlet or power strip. For greater availability, connect 
the power cords to separate power circuits. Verify that 
the Input Power LED is illuminated.

❑

The switch runs its self tests and begins normal 
operation – this may take a few minutes. Verify that 
the Heartbeat LED is blinking (once per second) and 
the System Fault LED is NOT illuminated.

❑

Verify that your workstation can support the QuickTools™ application with the following minimum requirements:

❑

Windows 2003 and XP SP1/SP2

❑

512 MB memory minimum; 1 GB recommended

❑

1 GHz processor

❑

Video card with 256 colors

❑

RJ-45 Ethernet port

❑

Internet Browser: Microsoft

 Internet Explorer

 6.0 and later, Netscape Navigator

 6.0 and later, Firefox

 

1.5 and later, or Mozilla™ 1.5

❑

The default IP address of a new switch is 10.0.0.1. Ensure that your workstation is configured to communicate 
with the 10.0.0 subnet.

❑

Connect the workstation to the switch using an Ethernet cable–the switch automatically recognizes both straight 
and cross-over Ethernet cables. If you are using a Windows workstation, you must have a live Ethernet connection 
when the workstation powers up.
