Overview
The Departmental Switch Models DS-16B2 and DS-32B2 are fibre
channel gigabit switches that support link speeds up to 2 Gb/s. Each
port can automatically negotiate to the highest common speed of all
devices connected to the port. The ports are compatible with small
form factor pluggable media (SFPs), are universal, self configuring,
and are capable of individually becoming a fabric-enabled port
(F_Port), fabric loop enabled port (FL_Port), or an expansion port
(E_Port).
The Departmental Switch Model DS-16B2 is one rack unit in height,
has an air-cooled chassis, and can be set up as a stand-alone unit or
mounted in a 19-inch rack. The Departmental Switch Model DS-32B2
is an air-cooled 1.5U chassis; can be set up as a stand-alone unit or
mounted in a standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA)
19-inch rack.
Table 1 lists the departmental switches and mounting kit model
numbers.

Device Placement Requirements
Device Placement Requirements
There are no restrictions on the location of the DS-xxB2 switch in the
rack/cabinet.
Switches are typically located at the top of the rack/cabinet.
Power distribution must support the number of outlets required for
the switch and the switch power rating listed in Table 2 on page 3.

Installing the DS-xxB2 Rails
There are two different length rails, see Figures 6 and 7. The short
rails range between 20.5 inches and 27 inches. The long rails range
between 27 inches and 34 inches. If your rail kit contains two different
length rear rail mounts, be sure to use the rail length that is
appropriate for your rack/cabinet.

Assembling the Rails
To assemble the rails:
1. Place the front rail down on a table.
2. Insert the slots of the rear adjustable rail onto the threaded posts
on the front rail. Be sure that the lip on the top of the rear
adjustable rail slides over the top of the slot on the front rail,
thereby capturing the ac power cord.
3. Secure the adjustable rail to the front rail with two #10 flat
washers and M5 keps nuts. Leave the keps nuts finger tight (see
Figure 11).

Round-Hole Channel
To install the rails assembly in the round-hole channel of the
rack/cabinet:
1. Align the holes of the front rail flange to the inside of the front
channel. The top and bottom screw holes are used for the screws.
2. Secure the rail to a round-hole channel with 2 M5 x 10-mm panhead screws (see table on Table 5 on page 6). Leave the screws
finger-tight, and tighten them after the switch is installed. See
Figure 13 on page 14.
3. Align the holes in the rear, U-shaped flange of the rail with the
holes in the rear inside channel.
4. Secure the rail to a round-hole channel with 2 M5 x 10-mm panhead screws (see table on Table 5 on page 6). Leave the screws
finger-tight, and tighten them after the switch is installed. See
Figure 13.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other rail.
See instructions for Square-Hole Channel on page 15.

page 6). Leave the screws finger-tight, and tighten them after the
switch is installed.
3. Align the holes in the rear, U-shaped flange of the rail with the
holes in the rear inside channel, as shown in Figure 14.
4. Secure the rail to a square-hole channel with two square-hole
washers and M5 x 16-mm flat head screws (see Table 5 on page 6).
Leave the screws finger-tight, and tighten them after the switch is
installed.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other rail.

Moun ti ng
This section describes the procedures for installing the DS-xxB2
switch in a rack/cabinet, including attaching the brackets on the
switch.
Mounting Bracket Installation
You must attach mounting brackets to the switch before installing it
on the rails. The mounting brackets slide into the “C” channel of the
rails.
To attach the mounting brackets to the switch:
1. Orient the L-shaped end of the bracket outward and to the power
outlet end of the switch.
2. Place the bracket against the switch. Align the three screw holes
in the bracket with three screw holes on the side of the switch (see
Figure 15 on page 17).
3. Secure the bracket with three 8-32 x 5/16-in. pan-head screws (see
Table 5 on page 6). Tighten the screws fully.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other side of the switch to be
mounted.

Installing the Switch in the Rack/Cabinet
To install the switch in the rack/cabinet:
1. Lift and orient the switch so that the fan end is to the front of the
rack/cabinet.
2. Align the bracket on each side of the switch with the “C” channel
on each fixed rail.
3. Push the switch into the rack/cabinet until the hole in the front
part of each bracket (the “L”-shaped end) aligns with the hole on
the fixed rail.

4. Secure the brackets to the rails with two M3 x 8-mm pan-head
screws (see Table 5 on page 6), one on each side, (Figure 17 on
page 19).
