WARNING!! Two people are required to safely lift and install the switch into a rack. To avoid personal injury or damage
to the switch, arrange for assistance.
You can mount the SANbox 9000 Series switch on a flat surface or in a rack. Allow minimum clearances of 2 inches in

❑ For a rack mount, install the SANbox 9000 Series rail kit in a standard 19" rack as described in the SANbox 9000

Step 3. Install Transceivers
An SFP transceiver is required for each switch port that will be connected to a device.
❑ To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the switch port and gently press until it snaps in place. The
transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
