To install the LSISAS6160 SAS switch, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the switch and inspect it for damage. Place the shipping carton on a grounded
surface before removing the switch from the carton.
2. Place the switch in a location that ensures adequate open space behind the fan air intake.
WARNING: To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it in an environment that
exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 50°C (122°F).
3. Attach the power cord, with the inline power supply, to the power input on the fan side
of the switch. Plug the other end of the power cord into the main power source. This
powers on the switch.
4. The 10/100 Ethernet connector (RJ-45 connector) on the connector side of the switch
provides access to the SDM Domain Manager utility. Use this utility to configure and
manage the switch.
- Use a standard RJ-45 cable, if connecting to an external Ethernet hub or switch.
- Use a crossover RJ-45 cable, if connecting directly to a computer.
Refer to the LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide for information on how to use the
SDM-GUI interface and the SDM-CLI interface.
5. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 cable into an Ethernet hub/switch or a computer. Use a
web browser (Microsoft® Internet Explorer® or Mozilla® Firefox®) on the host.
WARNING: Provide the switch with a proper AC-protective earth ground connection. Never
defeat the ground conductor or operate the switch in the absence of a suitably installed ground
conductor.
6. Connect the switch to your hardware configuration.
Refer to the LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide provided on the documentation CD for
examples of hardware configurations and for the types of connectors and cables needed.
