Rear side of the switch Fan Modules The IBM SAN48C-6 Switch fan modules have a fixed handle for insertion and removal from the chassis. The IBM SAN48C-6 Switch requires a minimum of two operating fan modules to prevent automatic shutdown. It supports up to four fan modules. This provides redundancy for uninterrupted operation in the event of fan module failure.
For more information on installing and removing fan modules, see Installing and Removing Fan Modules. Power Supplies The IBM SAN48C-6 Switch PSUs have an unswitched power receptacle, a PSU status LED and a handle for insertion and removal of the PSU from the chassis. The IBM SAN48C-6 Switch requires a minimum of one operating PSU.
For more information on installing and removing PSUs, see Installing and Removing Power Supplies. LEDs The IBM SAN48C-6 switch has LEDs on both the front and back of the switch to indicate the status of different system components during boot-up tests and online operation. The following tables describe the location of each LED and the meaning of its color: Table 2.

Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems To connect to the IBM SAN48C-6 switch AC power supply units to the site power source, follow these guidelines: • For power redundancy, each power supply should be connected to a separate power feed (at a minimum, separate branch circuits).
If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures. CAUTION: Avoid UPS types that use ferro-resonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the IBM c-type Series, triggered by substantial current draw fluctuations due to fluctuating data traffic patterns.

Figure 16. Handling the Chassis Installing and Removing Power Supply Units This section provides instructions for installing and removing the power supply units in the IBM SAN48C-6 switch. Installing Power Supply Units Before you begin To implement n+n redundancy, each PSU must be connected to a separate power feed. Otherwise, only one power feed is required.
Installing and Removing Fan Modules This section provides instructions for installing and removing the fan modules for the IBM SAN48C-6 switch. You can replace one of the four fan modules even when the switch is operating so long as you perform the replacement within one minute of removing the old fan module.
Page 49
The fan module is designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damaging the system. CAUTION: The IBM c-type Series Switches have internal temperature sensors that can shut down the system if the temperature within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds. To accurately monitor the system temperature, the temperature sensors require sufficient airflow through the chassis.

To connect to a router, use a crossover cable. Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port The Fibre Channel ports in the IBM SAN48C-6 switch are compatible with FC LC-type fiber-optic SFP+ transceivers and cables (see the Removing and Installing Cables into SFP Transceivers section). You can use these ports to connect to the SAN or for in-band management.
Warning: Removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP transceivers more often than is absolutely necessary. We recommend that you disconnect the cables before installing or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver. Chapter 4. Connecting the IBM SAN48C-6 Switch 33...
Note: Use only Cisco transceivers in the IBM SAN48C-6 switch. Each Cisco transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the transceiver meets the requirements for the switch.
