Time and items required for installation
You can set up and install the DC04 SAN Director in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In a 19-in. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet using the port side exhaust kit (provided).
Table 25 describes the main installation and setup tasks and the estimated time required for each,
based on a fully populated DC04 SAN Director (192 FC ports). Configurations with fewer ports
require less time. These time estimates assume a prepared installation site and appropriate power
and network connectivity.
