20 SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Installation Guide

Switch Characteristics

The next few sections describe the physical characteristics of the SAN Switch

2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N and some important requirements for proper operation.

Port Side

You can see the physical differences between the SAN Switch 2/8V and the SAN

Switch 2/16V switches in the following figures. The most noticeable difference is

the number of ports. Figure 1 shows the port side of the SAN Switch 2/8V, and

Figure 2 shows the port side of the SAN Switch 2/16V.

All LEDs are on the port side of the switch: the nonport side is used for serial

number labeling and to allow the free flow of air. The SAN Switch enclosures

have forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport side of the

chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting to the port side.

A complete description of the locations and interpretations of these LEDs can be

found at “Interpreting LED Activity” on page 59.
