Mount the Switches

Mount the switches in a rack, one on top of the other with no more than 1U of space between them. A cable loom can be installed in this space.

Horizontal clearance from the CPU blades to the rack opening or door should be 7–8 inches to allow for HyperStack cabling.

Refer to the QLogic 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Rack Mounting Guide for detailed mounting instructions.

Verify Domain IDs

Verify that the two switches have different domain IDs. If they do not, change the domain ID of one of the switches using the

Set Config Switch command.

Verify Firmware Version 7.8

Enter the Show Version command to verify that the two switches have firmware version 7.8 or later.
