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%, non-condensing

Installing a Switch

Installing a McDATA 4416 switch module involves the following steps:

1.Install SFP Transceivers

2.Mount the Switch Module in the Server Chassis

3.Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch Module

4.Start McDATA Embedded Web Server or McDATA Element Manager

5.Configure the Switch Module

6.Cable Devices to the Switch

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. The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, turn it over and try again.

NOTE: If you have installed the Port Activation PFE key, all six external ports are enabled. Otherwise, only ports 10–13 are enabled.

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.
