This book is intended for anyone who has to install a StorageTek 4199516 Redundant
Power Ethernet Switch. The remainder of this preface explains how you can use this
book most effectively and how you can obtain updated or supplementary
documentation.

How this book is organized

The document is task-oriented, organized around the work you have to do rather than
around the features or components of the product. Chapters and sections generally
begin with a list of tasks covered. Tasks are presented in order, and the steps in each
process are numbered, in the sequence in which they are to be performed.
Conditional steps (steps that you perform only in specified circumstances) begin with
the condition (“If
condition does not apply, you simply skip the step. Each task ends with a reference to
the next task in the sequence:

Next task: “Installing ...” on page 3.

When the setup process branches, the task ends with conditional alternatives:

Getting to know the switch

The StorageTek 4199516 Redundant Power Ethernet Switch is an Ethernet switch with
redundant, dual power supplies. This feature makes the switch ideal whenever high­availability LAN connectivity is desired. The switch offers the following additional
features:

• thirty-two 10/100 Base-T ports

• two 10/100/1000 Base-T ports

• requires no software or processor intervention

• fits standard, 19-inch racks.

The remainder of this introduction describes the physi
power connections, and port numbering scheme of the switch. See the following
sections for details:

The StorageTek 4199516 Redundant Power Ethernet Switch fits any standard, 19-inch
rack. To install the switch, proceed as follows.

▼ Installing the switch in a 19-inch equipment rack

1. If your rack requires cage nuts, install one nut in the upper and lower mounting
holes of the selected RU on both the left and right posts of the rack.

2. In the selected RU, position the switch horizontally and with the ventilation
