SAS6160 Connectors

 

All 16 connectors on the SAS6160 switch accept standard passive SAS cabling. The

 

 

 

connectors at port 0 and port 2 are active, which allows longer cable lengths when

 

 

 

 

 

using active SAS cabling. See Chapter 1 for an explanation of SAS connectors and

 

 

 

cables.

SAS6160 LEDs

 

The following table shows how to interpret the LEDs for the system, the phys, the

 

 

 

power supply module, and the Ethernet (RJ-45) connector. The LEDs in the RJ-45

 

 

 

 

 

connector are built into the left and right corners of the connector.

2.3Installing the SAS6160

Switch

WARNING: To prevent the SAS6160 switch from overheating, do not operate it in an environment that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 50 ºC (122 ºF).

When installing the switch, consider the following information:

„The acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges for installation and operation of the switch are as follows:

—Temperature Range: 5–50 ºC (dry bulb)

—Relative Humidity Range: 5%–90% noncondensing

—Maximum Dew Point Temperature: 32 ºC

„Install the SAS6160 switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, and dust.

„Allow some space at the back of the switch (where the fans intake air) for proper ventilation.

„The AC power adapter is rated at 100 V to 240 V, and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
