Section 2 Installation

Installation

Note:

This manual covers the installation and cabling of single-stage Switch chassis only.

There are seven basic steps required to install the Switch.

1.Unpack

2.Place or Mount the Equipment

3.Apply the IEC Laser Safety Label (If the installation is in Europe)

4.Install the GBICs

5.Connect the Switch to AC power

6.Check the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) results

7.Cable Adapters to the Switch

1. Unpack

a.Unpack the Switch from the carton. There are no packing materials or shipping fixtures located inside the chassis.

b.Ensure that the power cable has a plug that is suitable for your location. Ancor supplies the Switch with a standard 3-wire computer-type power cable. One end has an IEC 320 plug that mates with the power connector on the back of the chassis. The other end must have a plug that is suitable for your location. If the power cable has the wrong connection for your location, you must supply your own. Refer to the specifications on page 2-6.

c.GBICs (if you have ordered them from Ancor) are packaged separately.

Ancor supplies one Loopback Plug for each type of GBIC you ordered. A Loopback plug is a plug that, when fully inserted into a GBIC port, interconnects transmit and receive for that port. In case of a suspected GBIC failure, you may use these Loopback Plugs, in conjunction with a test, to verify the operation of a GBIC. Refer to Continuous Test in the Power-On- Self-Test descriptions in the Troubleshooting section of this manual for more information.
