Step 1. Verify the Package Contents
The SANbox 3050 Fibre Channel Switch is shipped with the following items:
1 SANbox 3050 Fibre Channel Switch
1Power cord
4 Rubber feet
2 Mounting brackets
8 Mounting screws
1CD
NOTE: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, if ordered, are packaged separately.
Step 2. Mount the Switch
You can mount the SANbox 3050 switch on a flat surface or in a rack.
❑ For a surface mount, attach the rubber feet to the locations on the bottom of the switch
❑ For a rack mount, fasten the brackets to
the switch using 2 screws on each
bracket as shown. Choose the holes in
the bracket to produce the desired set
back from the front of the cabinet. Place
the switch in a standard 19" rack and
fasten the bracket flanges to the rack with
two screws on each side.
Step 3. Install SFPs
An optical SFP is required for each switch port that will be connected to a device, device loop, or
another switch. Recommended SFP: Picolight® PL-XPL-VC-S23-11.
❑ If SFPs were included in your shipment, install them now. To install an SFP transceiver,
insert the transceiver into the switch port and gently press until it snaps in place. The SFP
will fit only one way. If the SFP does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

Step 4. Apply Power to the Switch

minutes. Verify that the Heartbeat LED is
blinking (once per second) and the
System Fault LED is NOT illuminated.
