Installation

Fiber cable connections are made to the switch’s front panel using standard dual SC plug connectors as shown in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2Dual SC Fiber Optic Plug connector

	The connectors are keyed and must be inserted into the GBIC
	module’s connector in proper alignment. In most cases, one of the
	two connector plugs is a different color to aid in proper connector
	alignment.
	Remove the protective plug from the GBIC. Do not force the fiber optic plug
	into the GBIC module as you may damage the connector, the GBIC module,
	or both. Make certain the fiber surface is clean, free of dust or debris, before
	inserting the connector into GBIC module.
Ethernet	Connecting an existing Ethernet 10/100BaseT LAN to the switch via
Connection	the front panel RJ-45 connector gives access to the switch’s internal
	SNMP agent and also allows remote Telnet and Web access for
	remote monitoring and testing.
	The connection is only for Telnet, SNMP agent and the Web-based Server
	access. No Fabric connection is used via this connection.
Verify Power-On Self	When the switch is powered on it automatically runs the POST. From
Test (POST)	the front panel the indications of a normal POST include a pause, a
	momentary flashing of the lights, followed by a series of diagnostics
	tests. See Power-On Diagnostics (POST) on page 4-5 for more
	information.
