Quick Start Guide
Installation Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of the SANbox®5800V Series Stackable 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 5800V Series Stackable Fibre Channel
Switch Installation Guide, which is available at www.qlogic.com.
NOTE: Do not apply power to the switch until instructed in Step 5.
Step 1. Verify the Package Contents
The SANbox 5800V Series Fibre Channel Switch is shipped with the following items:
1 SANbox 5800V Series Stackable Fibre Channel Switch
1 AC Power cord (5800V)
2 AC Power cords (5802V)
4 Rubber feet
1 Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 CD (free 30-day trial)
Depending on which SANbox 5800V switch you ordered, it may also include Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceivers and/or XPAK switch stacking cables. XPAK switch stacking cables connect SANbox 5800V Series switches
together through the XPAK ports.
NOTE: If you ordered SFPs and XPAK switch stacking cables separately, they will arrive in a different package. XPAK
switch stacking cables connect SANbox 5800V Series switches together through the XPAK ports.
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. Stack Switches
You can connect up to six switches together through the XPAK ports using XPAK switch stacking cables. Stacking
provides performance and fail-over while preserving ports for devices.
❑For a 2-switch stack, use two 3-inch stacking cables.
❑For a 3-switch stack, use two 3-inch stacking cables and one 9-inch stacking cable.
❑For a 4-switch stack, use three 3-inch stacking cables and three 9-inch stacking cables.
❑For a 5-switch stack, use four 3-inch stacking cables and four 9-inch stacking cables.
❑For a 6-switch stack, use two 3-inch stacking cables and six 9-inch stacking cables.
❑Remove the XPAK port covers according to the instructions provided with the stacking cables. Connect 2, 3, 4,
5,or 6 switches into stacks.

Step 4. Install Transceivers
An SFP transceiver is required for each SFP port that will be connected to a device or another switch. The SFP ports
support 2-Gbps, 4-Gbps, and 8-Gbps transmission. The XPAK ports support 10-Gbps transmission and can be upgraded
to 20-Gbps with a license key.
The standard switch model activates SFP ports 0–7 plus the XPAK ports (20-23). You can activate ports 8–19 in four-port
increments with the purchase of a Port Activation license key. Contact your authorized reseller for information about
license keys.
NOTE: If your SANbox 5802V switch came with 20 SFPs and a 3-inch stacking cable, ports 0–23 are active.
❑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 5. Apply Power to the Switch
❑Attach the AC power cord(s) to the switch and wall
outlet or power strip. For greater availability, connect
the power cords to separate power circuits. 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 6. 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 7. Connect the Workstation to the Switch
❑Connect the workstation to the switch using an Ethernet cable–the switch automatically recognizes both straight
and cross-over Ethernet cables. If you are using a Windows workstation, you must have a live Ethernet connection
when the workstation powers up.

Step 8. 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 9. 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 10. 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.
