Installing a standalone Product Name
Perform this task to install the Product Name as a standalone unit.
1. Unpack the Product Name and verify the items listed on “Items included with the Product
Name” on page 9. Verify the items are present and undamaged.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto the switch helps prevent the
switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are
free of dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and
press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Provide power to the switch as described in “Providing power to the switch” on page 13.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how
to set the IP address, see
“Product Name configuration”
Cabinet installation for a Product Name
You must use one of four rack mount kits to install a Brocade VA-40FC in a cabinet. A rack mount
kit can be installed in two ways:
•
To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the cabinet.
•
To allow the non-port side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 7.62 cm (3 inches) back from the edge
of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.
Whichever mounting method you choose, follow the installation instructions shipped with the
appropriate rack mount kit:
•
To install the switch into a fixed-rail rack, refer to the Fixed Rack Mount Kit Installation
Procedure .

To install the switch into a slide-rail rack, refer to the Slide Rack Mount Kit Installation
