4.2.2
Mount the Router
You can place the router on a flat surface or mount it in a standard 19-inch Electronic
Industries Association (EIA) rack. See the product specification for weight and
dimensions. Rack mounting requires a QLogic rack mounting kit (Part No.
ISR614X-RACKKIT). C
ontact QLogic for more information.
If you mount the router 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 for the router.
4.2.3
Install the Transceivers
The router supports a variety of SFP transceivers. To install a transceiver, insert the
transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a
transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release tension, then pull
the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver
manufactures have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation of
your transceiver.
NOTE: The transceiver fits only one way. If the transceiver does not install under
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
4.2.4
Connect the Management Workstation to the Router
You can manage the router using the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager or the
command line interface (CLI). SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager requires an
Ethernet connection to the router. The CLI can use an Ethernet connection or a
serial connection. Choose the router management method, then connect the
management workstation to the router in one of the following ways:
■
Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router
RJ-45 connector through an Ethernet switch or hub. This requires a 10/100
Base-T straight-through cable.
■
Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the router RJ-45
Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T crossover cable.
■
Serial port connection from the management workstation to the router RS-232
serial port connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight-through cable and
an RJ45-to-DB9F adapter (included with the router).
