Installation Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of the SANbox
®
3810 Fibre Channel Switch. This guide describes the steps to install and
activate your new switch using a Windows
®
workstation. For advanced options and instructions (including Solaris
®
, Linux
®
,
and Mac OS X
®
installations), refer to the
SANbox 3810 Fibre Channel Switch Installation Guide
, which is available at
www.qlogic.com
.
NOTE:
Do not apply power to the switch until instructed in Step 4.
Step 1. Verify the Package Contents
The SANbox 3810 Fibre Channel Switch is shipped with the following items:
1
SANbox 3810 Fibre Channel Switch
1
AC Power cord
4
Rubber feet
8
SFP optical transceivers (optional)
NOTE:
Some models include SFPs, or SFPs can be ordered separately. If you ordered SFPs separately, they will arrive in
a different package.
Step 2. Mount the Switch
❑
For a surface mount, attach the rubber feet to the locations on the bottom of the switch. For a rack mount, install the
SANbox 3000/5000 series rail kit and the switch in a standard 19" rack as described in the
SANbox 3000/5000 Series
Fibre Channel Switch Rack Mounting Guide
.
Step 3. Install Transceivers
An SFP transceiver is required for each SFP port that will be connected to a device. The SANbox 3810 switch SFP ports support
2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, and 8-Gbps transmission.
❑
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.
Step 4. Apply Power to the Switch
❑
Attach the AC power cord to the switch and wall outlet or
power strip. 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.
