Preface

This guide describes the features and installation of the QLogic® 5800V Series

Stackable Fibre Channel switch, firmware version 8.0. The QLogic 5800V Series

switch is a 24-port, 8Gbps Fibre Channel switch. The model 5802V switch has

dual, replaceable power supplies; the model 5800V switch has a single,

non-replaceable power supply.

This guide is organized as follows:

Section 1 is an overview of the switch. It describes indicator LEDs, all user

controls, and connections.

Section 2 describes the factors to consider when planning a fabric.

Section 3 explains how to install and configure the switch.

Section 4 describes the diagnostic methods and troubleshooting

procedures.

Section 5 describes the removal and replacement of field replaceable units:

media transceivers and power supplies.

Appendix A lists the switch specifications.

Read the communications statements and laser safety information later in this

section.

Intended Audience

This manual introduces users to the switch and explains its installation and

service. It is intended for users who are responsible for installing and servicing

network equipment.
