Installing the Router

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing the router.

You must take many factors into consideration while planning the router installation. Due to the versatility of the router and the diversity of available host platforms, host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, hubs, storage devices, and applications, only general guidelines are found in this Guide. For examples of the most common configurations, see Installation Configuration Examples on page 2-11.

You can mount the router in a standard 19" rack or place it on a table or desktop. Be sure the operating environment meets the requirements found in Specifications on page 1-5.
