Installation Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of the SANbox® 5202 Fibre Channel switch. This Quick Start
Guide describes the simple steps to install and activate your new switch using a Windows®
workstation.
NOTE: Do not connect and apply power to the switch until instructed in Step 5.
For advanced options and instructions (including Solaris®, Linux®, and Mac OS X® installations),
refer to the SANbox 5200 Series Fibre Channel Switch Installation Guide on the CD provided with
the switch.
Step 1. Verify the Package Contents
The SANbox 5202 Fibre Channel Switch is shipped with the following items:
1 SANbox 5202 Fibre Channel Switch
2 AC Power cords
4 Rubber feet
1CD
NOTE: Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, XPAK switch stacking cables, and the
rail kit, if you ordered them, are packaged separately. XPAK switch stacking cables connect
SANbox 5202 switches together through the 10-Gbps ports. The switch must have a 20-port
license to enable the 10-Gbps ports.
Step 2. Mount the Switch
You can mount the SANbox 5202 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, install the SANbox 5202 rail kit in a standard 19" rack as described in the
SANbox 3000/5000 Fibre Channel Switch Rack Mounting Guide that is packaged with the
rail kit.

Step 3. Stack Switches
If your switch is licensed for 20 ports, you can connect up to four switches together through the
10-Gbps ports using XPAK switch stacking cables. Stacking provides performance and fail-over
while preserving ports for devices.
For a 2-switch stack, use two 3-inch cables.
For a 3-switch stack, use two 3-inch cables and one 9-inch cable.
For a 4-switch stack, use three 3-inch cables and three 9-inch cables.
Remove the 10-Gbps port covers according to the instructions provided with the cables.
Connect 2, 3, or 4 switches into 2-, 3- or 4-switch stacks.
Step 4. Install SFPs
An SFP transceiver is required for each switch port that will be connected to a device, device loop,
or another switch.
Recommended SFPs: Finisar® FTRJ-8519-P1BNL, JDS Uniphase® JSP-21S0AA1,
Picolight® PL-XPL-VC-S23-11.
If SFP transceivers 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 transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle
pressure, flip it over and try again.

Step 5. Apply Power to the Switch
Attach the AC power cords to the switch
and wall outlet or power strip. Verify that
the Input Power LED is illuminated.
The switch runs its self tests and begins
normal operation – this may take a few
minutes. Verify that the Heartbeat LED is
blinking (once per second) and the
System Fault LED is NOT illuminated.
Step 6. Verify Workstation Requirements
Verify that your workstation can support the SANsurfer Switch Manager™ application with
the following minimum requirements:
Windows XP/2000/2003
256 MB memory
150 MB disk space
500 MHz processor
Video card with 256 colors
CD ROM drive, RJ-45 Ethernet port
Internet Browser: Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, Netscape Navigator®, or Mozilla™
Step 7. Install the SANsurfer Switch Manager Application
The SANsurfer Switch Manager application includes the Configuration Wizard. This wizard
auto-detects and configures the switch based on selected options and recommended settings. To
install the SANsurfer Switch Manager application on a Windows workstation/server, perform the
following steps:
Insert the supplied CD into the CD ROM drive of the Windows workstation/server.
In the upper left corner of the product introduction screen, click Management Software.
Locate your platform in the table and click Install.
If the product introduction screen does not open, open the CD with Windows Explorer and
run the installation program with the following path:

Step 8. Obtain Network Configuration
Obtain the IP address and subnet mask from your network administrator.
Step 9. Run the Configuration Wizard
Double-click the SANsurfer Switch Manager shortcut, or select SANsurfer Switch Manager
from Start menu, depending on how you installed SANsurfer Switch Manager.
Connect the switch and the workstation using an Ethernet crossover cable, switch, or hub.
The Configuration Wizard tool will auto-detect and configure the switch based on selected
options and recommended settings. Follow the instructions to set network parameters and
the password.
NOTE: If you are using an Ethernet switch and the auto-connect process fails due to a time out,
try a direct connection from your workstation to the switch using an Ethernet cross-over cable.
Step 10.Connect Devices and Switches
Connect fibre optic cables between the installed SFP transceivers and their corresponding
devices. Each port auto-negotiates the proper port type with the connected device or switch.
Congratulations!
