SANRAD V-Switch manual Switch 3000 Storage Ports

Slide the V-Switch 3000 into the rack making sure to position the V-Switch 3000 to rest on the rear mounts.

The rear mounts may turn inward slightly before the V-witch 3000 is inserted. If the V-Switch does not enter easily, push the mount lips outward slightly while inserting the V-Switch 3000.

Insert the rear of the V-Switch 3000 until the L-brackets touch the rack mounting posts.

STEP 5. ATTACH THE V-SWITCH 3000 TO THE RACK MOUNTING POSTS

Align the mounting holes on the L-brackets with the mounting holes on the rack mounting posts making sure that the L-brackets are the same height as the rear mounts.

Using screws that you provide, attach the V-Switch to the rack mounting posts by screwing two screws on each side through the L-brackets and into the threaded holes in the rack mounting posts.

Once the V-Switch 3000 is mounted, you can begin connecting the requisite cables.

Storage Port Connections

Connect the SAN storage devices or fabric to the V-Switch 3000 using the FC/SCSI storage ports.

The storage ports are located on the back upper left of the V-Switch 3000. The number and configuration of storage ports on your V-Switch 3000 will vary depending on your V-Switch 3000 order specifications.

The V-Switch 3000 contains a storage auto-discovery function. At power- up the V-Switch 3000 automatically scans for and registers all attached and powered up network storage devices.

If you are building a V-Switch 3000 cluster, power up each disk one at a time after connecting them to the powered-up V-Switches. This allows each disk to be numbered with the same default disk number on each V- Switch 3000 during auto-discovery. This will make cluster configuration easier. For more information on V-Switch clusters, see “Introduction to V- Switch Clusters,” page 72.

When connecting more than one V-Switch 3000 to a group of storage devices, ensure that the same port on each V-Switch 3000 is used to connect to the same storage device. This increases the chance of the storage device
