You can connect a management station to one switch with Ethernet while managing other switches connected to the first switch with FC. To do so, set the FC gateway address of each of the other switches to be managed to the FC IP address of the first switch.

The gateway address of the first switch should be set to whatever the gateway address is for the subnet on which the first switch resides. See Table 12.

Maintaining the 8Gb SAN Switch

The 8Gb SAN Switch does not require any regular physical maintenance.

However, it is critical that environmental conditions, described in Environmental requirements, page 50, are met to help prevent switch failure due to heat stress or improper air flow.

Installing dust covers in empty ports

The dust covers included in the 8Gb SAN Switch shipping carton (see Figure 1) must be inserted in ports where SFPs are not installed. Installing dust covers ensures proper air flow and helps reduce dust contamination of the switch.

Replacing an SFP transceiver

In some cases, you might need to reinstall an SFP transceiver.

To remove an SFP transceiver:

1.Press and hold the cable release.

2.Remove the cable from the transceiver.

3.Pull the bail (wire handle) to release the transceiver.

4.Grasp the bail, and gently but firmly pull the transceiver out of the port.

5.Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports as required.

To install a replacement SFP:

1.Make sure that the bail is in the unlocked position.
