Installing a standalone switch
1. Unpack the switch and verify the contents, as described in Shipping carton contents.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner on the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are
free of dust or other debris.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation
and press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Connect the power cords to each power supply present.
For the SN6500B and SN6000B switches, connect the power cords to both power
supplies and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.
For the SN3000B switch, connect a power cord to either the single power supply present
or to both power supplies, if an optional second power supply is present. Then connect
the power cords to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.
NOTE: If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply on the SN3000B
switch, it will also have two power cords.
Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6 inches available and are routed to
avoid stress.
5. Power on the power supplies by setting both AC switches to the on (|) position.
The power supply LEDs are amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. See
Figure 23 (page 35). The switch takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and
turned on.
6. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the port side of the
switch are green. See Figure 24 (page 36).
Setting up the switch
To set up the switch, you will need the following:
Standard screwdriver
WWN, located on the switch ID pull-out tab
Ethernet connection (hub or switch)
Ethernet and FC cables
