Installing a SANbox2-8c switch involves the following steps:

1.

Mount the switch

2.

Install SFP transceivers

3.

Connect the switch to the AC power source

4.

Connect the management workstation to the switch

5.

Install the SANbox Manager application

6.

Configure the switch

7.

Configure the ports

8.

Cable devices to the switch

The switch can be placed on a flat surface and stacked or mounted in a 19” EIA 
rack. The top of each chassis has dimples to receive the rubber feet of a second 
chassis stacked on top. Without the rubber feet, the switch occupies 1U of space 
in an EIA rack. A rail kit is required for rack mounting and is available through 
QLogic Corporation.

Mount switches in the rack so that the weight is distributed evenly. 
An unevenly loaded rack can become unstable possibly resulting 
in equipment damage or personal injury.

If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, 
make sure that the operating temperature inside the rack 
enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient 
temperature. Refer to 

.

Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum 
clearance at the front and rear of the rack for service access and 
ventilation.

Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit 
may overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. 
Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage of 
all switches on the circuit. Refer to 

.

Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the switch 
chassis to the AC power source.
