Attaching the management module’s Ethernet Port to a network

The management module’s 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port (RJ-45 UTP connector) allows you to connect the management port to a network. A management station in your existing management network can then access a BigIron RX Series switch using the IronView Network Manager.

To attach the management module’s Ethernet port to a network, you need a Category 5 UTP straight-through cable (not supplied by Brocade). Connect one end of the straight-through cable to the management port and the other end to the network.

Powering-on the power source

After you complete the hardware installation, you can power-on your power source.

1.Verify that all modules and power supplies are fully and properly installed and no module slots are uncovered.

CAUTION

If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.

2.If you are supplying a DC power source to a BigIron RX Series chassis, attach the power cables to the DC power supply as described in the appropriate section:

•“Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-4 chassis” on page 32

•“Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-8 chassis” on page 42

•“Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-16 chassis” on page 52

Connect the other end of the cables to the DC power source. Repeat this step for each installed DC power supply. Then switch on the power source.

3.If your power source is AC, attach one end of a Brocade-supplied AC power cord to the AC power supply as described in the appropriate section:

•“Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-4 chassis” on page 31

•“Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-8 chassis” on page 41

•“Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-16 chassis” on page 51
