Time and items required for installation
You can set up and install the DC SAN Director in the following ways:
• As a standalone unit on a flat surface.
• In a 19-in. EIA cabinet, using the 14U Rack Mount Kit (ships with the DC SAN Director).
Table 6 describes the main installation and setup tasks and the estimated installation time, based
on a fully populated DC SAN Director (384 FC ports). Configurations with fewer ports require
less time. These time estimates assume a prepared installation site and appropriate power and
network connectivity.
