Installation Considerations

The switch has optional mounting hardware to mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack. If the switch has had its rubber mounting feet installed, they may need to be removed for a rack installation.

Standalone	The switch is shipped in its standalone configuration. Adhesive
	rubber feet are supplied if the switch is surface mounted. Rubber feet
	installation is required for proper or safe switch operation.

To install the adhesive rubber feet:

1.Clean the four depressions at each corner of the chassis bottom so that they are free of dust.

2.Remove the rubber feet from the sheet and place one in each depression.

3.Firmly press the rubber feet in place.

Fiber Channel	All network cable connections are to the switch’s front panel. All
Cable Connections	recommended cabling supports the switch’s 1.0625-Gbps transfer
	rate, as shown in Table 2-1.
