Preinstallation
Before installing the SAN48C-6 switch, be sure you understand and follow the guidelines outlined in this
section.
IBM Storage Networking SAN48C-6 and Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket
The Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket Kit can temporarily or permanently support the IBM SAN48C-6 switch
during installation. After the front rack-mount brackets are securely attached to the rack-mounting rails,
the shelf bracket can be removed.
The Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket kit supports the following configurations:
• An IBM SAN48C-6 Switch in a two-post Telco rack
• An IBM SAN48C-6 Switch in a four-post EIA rack
This section describes the procedure for installing an IBM SAN48C-6 switch in a rack or cabinet using the
Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket Kit.
Shelf-Installation Guidelines
CAUTION:
• If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or the rack is otherwise stabilized.
• If you are installing this kit in an EIA rack, attach the shelf to all four rack-mounting posts; the
EIA posts may not be thick enough to prevent flexing of shelf brackets if only two posts are used.
Before Installing the Shelf Brackets
Before installing the shelf brackets, inspect the contents of your kit. The following table lists the contents
of the shelf bracket kit:
