2.0Installing the ServerSwitch 8200

2.1Location and Operational Safety

The ServerSwitch 8200 may be mounted in a rack, or may be used as a desktop unit. If used as a desktop unit, the rack mount "ears" may be removed, and rubber feet (supplied with the ServerSwitch 8200) should be attached. If mounting the unit in a rack, ensure that there are screws in each of the mounting holes and that the "ears" are firmly seated against the rack once the screws are tightened. Make sure that at least four inches (10 cm) of space exists behind the rear panel of the ServerSwitch 8200 to prevent excessive bending of cables. More space may be required depending on the cables used.

The ServerSwitch 8200 is designed to work in temperatures less than 122°F (50°C). The unit is cooled by convection through slots in the enclosure sides. Make sure the slots are not obstructed or clogged. If mounting in a rack, forced ventilation by rack- mounted fans is recommended, especially when mounted with other equipment. The ServerSwitch generates 102.4 BTU/hr heat in normal operation.

The cover should not be removed due to potentially hazardous voltages inside the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Return the unit to Lightwave for repairs to avoid cancellation of the warranty.

2.1.1 Power Requirements

Properly and reliably ground all equipment. This is especially important when the unit is not directly connected to power mains (i.e., when a power strip is used).

The ServerSwitch 8200 requires 100-240 VAC, 30 Watts, and 50/60 Hz. Power is provided through the AC power cord included with the unit. Before using the ServerSwitch 8200, the power cord must be plugged into the power input jack on the back of the unit and into an AC power outlet.

2.2System Cable Requirements

For most applications, Sun® Servers wil l have both video and keyboard/mouse cables directly connected to the ServerSwitch 8200. The ServerSwitch 8200 requires 8-pin Mini-DIN cables with two male ends for keyboard/mouse, and 13W3 or HD15 cables with two male ends for video. If the unit will be in a cascade, then a DB9 serial data cable is also required.
