 Chapter 2: Installing and Removing the SI4091   

15

Before Installing the SI4091

Attention:  

Product information is required in order to register your SI4091, update 

its firmware, place a service call, or replace the unit.

Some of the product information labels may be hidden from view once the SI4091 
is installed. To prevent the need to remove the switch in order to read required 
product information, locate and record the information shown on 

Table 1 on 

page 16

 prior to installation.

An example of the product information labels is shown as follows:

Figure 3.

Sample product labels from the switch       

Note:

These examples are to help locate and identify the information labels. The 

actual labels and information for your specific switch may differ.

The identification labels on the SI4091 contain the serial number and part number 
of the switch. These labels also include the Media Access Control (MAC) address 
(on the uppermost handle) of the switch. Though helpful, the MAC address is not 
required for opening a service call.
