Installing a SANbox2-64 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 SANbox Manager.

6.

Configure the switch.

7.

Configure the ports.

8.

Cable devices to the switch.

Two people are required to safely lift and install the SANbox2-64 
switch into a rack. To avoid personal injury or damage to the 
switch, arrange for the help of an assistant.

When mounting products into a rack or cabinet, heavier products 
should be placed near the bottom. A top heavy 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 

The switch must rest on rails or a shelf in the rack or cabinet. 
Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance at the front and rear of 
the rack for service access and ventilation.

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.
