Installing a Switch
Environmental Conditions
Consider the factors that affect the climate in your facility such as equipment heat dissipation and ventilation. The switch requires the following operating conditions:
•Operating temperature range: 5 – 40°C (41 – 104°F)
•Relative humidity: 5 – 90%,
Installing a Switch
Installing a McDATA 4314 switch module involves the following steps:
1.Install SFP transceivers.
2.Insert the switch module in the server chassis.
3.Connect the management workstation to the switch module.
4.Install the EFCM BASIC application.
5.Configure the switch module.
6.Cable devices to the switch module.
Install SFP Transceivers
The switch module has been validated with transceivers that support a variety of interconnection media. To install a transceiver, insert the transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, then pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation for your transceiver.
NOTE: The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
