3. Connect the power cord to the switch and plug in to a power source.
The switch power and status LEDs display amber and then change to green, which usually
takes from one to three minutes. See your switch hardware manual for the location of the
LEDs.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Brocade switch to the LAN you want to use for your
management connection through an Ethernet hub or switch. If you chose to use your Ethernet
connection for Set up in step 1, this is the connection you will use. If you chose the serial cable
connection in step 1, you should still connect the Ethernet cable so the Ethernet connection
will be available when you start the EZSwitchSetup manager.
5. If you are using a serial connection for set up, connect your setup computer to the serial port
on the switch, using the serial cable shipped with the switch. If you cannot locate the serial
cable that came with the switch, you will need to find one that has the appropriate connectors.
Do not use a null-modem cable. The serial connection settings are as follows.
•Bits per second: 9600
•Databits: 8
•Parity: none
•Stop bits: 1
•Flow control: none
6. Click Next.
EZSwitchSetup attempts to discover the switch. If your switch discovery fails, see Table 2 on
page15 for details on how to recover your switch.
If you are using the serial connection, the Set Switch IP Address screen is displayed, and you
can go to step5. You can now remove the serial cable from the switch, but keep it available in
case you lose your network connection, and need to revise any of the information you entered.
