Before You Install

•Three people to complete the installation (highly recommended). The Cisco SFS 7008P switch chassis weighs up to 106 pounds fully loaded.

Before You Install

Before you begin the installation, do the following:

•Make sure that you have the right cables and sufficient ventilation.

•Open the Cisco SFS 7008P package and remove the chassis, rack brackets, parts bag, and documentation from the box. Remove the packaging from around the chassis. After you have removed the straps, lift the box up and away from the switch and pallet. Do not cut the packaging, as you could damage the switch. Save the box and packaging.

•Prepare a management workstation, such as a PC or laptop running a terminal program with a rollover M/F DB-9 serial cable (included).

Verifying Basic Hardware

If you have not purchased a fully loaded chassis with high-availability components installed, verify that you have the minimum components necessary to run the chassis. Specific components in the Cisco SFS 7008P switch (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) have interdependencies on other components.

Check for basic hardware by following these steps:

Step 1 Verify that you have at least one management interface module installed in slot 15 at the back of the unit. (See Figure 1.) Slot 15 is paired with the Fabric Controller in slot 11. (See Figure 2.)
