Note Do not connect the Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial switch configuration has been performed.

For instructions on connecting to the console port, see the “Connecting to the Console Port” section on page
Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Statement 1046
To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that empty power supply slots have filler panels installed, the faceplates of all modules are flush with the front of the chassis, and the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all expansion modules are tight.
Step 2 Verify that the power supply and the fan modules are installed.
Note Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional jumper power cord to connect the switch to your outlet receptacle. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on page
Step 3 Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the “Grounding the Switch” section on page
Step 4 For the switch, insert each end of the power clip (from the accessory kit) into holes on tabs located on either side of the power connectors (see Figure
Step 5 Connect each power cable to the power connectors on the chassis and an AC power source. Press the power cable into the power clip to endure that the power cable stays connected to the chassis when bumped. The switch should power on as soon as you connect the power cable.
Step 6 Listen for the fans; they should begin operating when the power cable is plugged in.
Step 7 After the switch boots, verify that the LED operation is as follows:
•Fan
•Power
•After initialization, the system status LED is green, indicating that all chassis environmental monitors are reporting that the system is operational. If this LED is orange or red, then one or more environmental monitor is reporting a problem.
•The Link LEDs for the Ethernet connector should not be on unless the cable is connected.
Note The link LEDs for the Fibre Channel ports remain yellow until the ports are enabled, and the LED for the Ethernet connector port remains off until the port is connected.
Step 8 Try removing and reinstalling a component that is not operating correctly. If it still does not operate correctly, contact your customer service representative for a replacement.
