Electrical requirements
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following
electrical requirements are met.
v Primary ac input 100-240 V ac (the switch autosenses input voltage)
v Correctly wired primary outlet, with circuit protected by a circuit breaker and
grounded in accordance with local electrical codes
v Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the electrical
rating on the switch nameplate
Environmental requirements and considerations
To ensure proper operation, the switch must not be subjected to environmental
conditions beyond those for which it was tested. The ranges specified in Table 3 list
the acceptable environment for both operating and non-operating conditions.
Table 3. Environmental requirements

Installing a stand-alone SAN16B-2
To install the switch as a stand-alone unit, use the following procedure:
1. Unpack the switch and verify that all items listed in “Items included with the
switch” on page 7 are present and undamaged.
Note:
If any items are damaged or missing, contact the IBM Quality Hotline
toll-free at 1-800-442-6773 within the United States and Canada, or
direct dial 770-858-8459 in other locations.
2. Clean the four corner depressions on the bottom of the switch enclosure, place
an adhesive rubber foot in each one, and firmly press into place. Applying the
rubber feet onto the switch helps prevent the switch from sliding off the
supporting surface.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Provide power to the switch as described in “Powering up the switch and
logging in” on page 18.
Attention: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is
correctly set. For instructions on how to cable and configure the switch, and how to
set the IP address, see “Cabling and configuring the SAN16B-2” on page 16.
