When you mount the switch into a slide-rail rack, you can mount the chassis to slide from either the port side or the non-port side. This chapter provides the following information: v "Items included with the switch" v "Installation and safety considerations" v "Installing a stand-alone switch" on page 8 v "Installing the switch into an EIA cabinet" on page 9 v "Recommendations for cable management" on page 14 v "Configuring the switch" on page 15 Items included with the switch The following items are included with the standard shipment of the switch. When you open the packaging, verify that these items are included in the package and that no damage has occurred during shipping: v One SAN40B-4 switch with two power supply/fan assemblies installed v An accessory kit containing: - Serial cable with an RJ-45 connector - One grounded 1.8 m (6 ft.) country-specific power cord - Four rubber feet, required for setting up the switch as a stand-alone unit - SFP transceivers (quantity depending upon features ordered) - IBM System Storage SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User's Guide (this document) - IBM System Storage SAN40B-4 Quick Start Guide - IBM documentation CD - EZSwitchSetup CD - One LC wrap plug-D Installation and safety considerations Use this section to prepare your site for a safe and successful installation. Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch is to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel can install and service these switches in such a rack. Attention: Read the "Safety and environmental notices" on page ix before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2008 7
