Setting up the Brocade 7840 as a standalone unit
The Brocade 7840 can be configured as a standalone unit, which means that it resides outside of a
rack. Perform the following steps to configure the Brocade 7840 as a standalone unit.
1. Unpack the Brocade 7840 and verify that all ordered items are present.
2. Clean the four corner depressions on the bottom of the Brocade 7840 and place a rubber foot in
each one. This helps prevent the Brocade 7840 from accidentally sliding off the supporting surface.
3. Place the Brocade 7840 on a stable, flat surface.
