Quick Start Guide
Installation Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of the SANbox® 3810 Fibre Channel Switch. This guide describes the steps to install and
activate your new switch using a Windows
®
workstation. For advanced options and instructions (including Solaris®, Linux®,
and Mac OS X
®
installations), refer to the SANbox 3810 Fibre Channel Switch Installation Guide, which is available at
www.qlogic.com
.
NOTE: Do not apply power to the switch until instructed in Step 4.
Step 1. Verify the Package Contents
The SANbox 3810 Fibre Channel Switch is shipped with the following items:
1 SANbox 3810 Fibre Channel Switch
1 AC Power cord
4 Rubber feet
8 SFP optical transceivers (optional)
NOTE: Some models include SFPs, or SFPs can be ordered separately. If you ordered SFPs separately, they will arrive in
a different package.
Step 2. Mount the Switch
❑ For a surface mount, attach the rubber feet to the locations on the bottom of the switch. For a rack mount, install the
SANbox 3000/5000 series rail kit and the switch in a standard 19" rack as described in the SANbox 3000/5000 Series
Fibre Channel Switch Rack Mounting Guide.
Step 3. Install Transceivers
An SFP transceiver is required for each SFP port that will be connected to a device. The SANbox 3810 switch SFP ports support
2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, and 8-Gbps transmission.
❑ To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the switch port and gently press until it snaps in place. The
transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
Step 4. Apply Power to the Switch
❑ Attach the AC power cord to the switch and wall outlet or
power strip. Verify that the Input Power LED is illuminated.
❑ The switch runs its self tests and begins normal operation
– this may take a few minutes. Verify that the Heartbeat LED
is blinking (once per second) and the System Fault LED is
NOT illuminated.

Step 5. Verify Workstation Requirements
❑ Verify that your workstation can support the QuickTools™ application with the following minimum requirements:
❑ Windows
®
2003 and XP SP1/SP2
❑ 512 MB memory minimum; 1 GB recommended
❑ 1 GHz processor
❑ Video card with 256 colors
❑ RJ-45 Ethernet port
❑ Internet Browser: Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer® 6.0 and later, Netscape Navigator® 6.0 and later, Firefox® 1.5 and
later, or Mozilla™ 1.5
❑ The default IP address of a new switch is 10.0.0.1. Ensure that your workstation is configured to communicate with the
10.0.0 subnet.
Step 6. Connect the Workstation to the Switch
❑ Connect the workstation to the switch using an Ethernet crossover cable, switch, or hub. If you are using a Windows
workstation, you must have a live Ethernet connection when the workstation powers up.
Step 7. Log In to the Switch
You can log in to and manage the switch using the command line interface or the QuickTools web applet. This guide will
describe the use of QuickTools.
❑ Open an Internet browser and enter the default IP address 10.0.0.1 to start the QuickTools web applet.
❑ Log in to the switch using the default user name (admin) and password (password).
Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard
❑ Obtain the IP address and subnet mask from your network administrator.
❑ Open the QuickTools Wizards menu and select Configuration Wizard. Follow the instructions to set network parameters
and the password. The default user name is admin; the default password is password. Changing the IP address will
terminate the QuickTools session.
❑ Open an Internet browser and start a new QuickTools session. Enter the new IP address to log in to switch.
Step 9. Connect Devices
❑ Connect fiber optic cables between the installed transceivers and their corresponding devices. Each port auto-negotiates
the proper port type with the connected device.
