3Move the E-S switch to the S position.

4Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable (DB-9) to the COM port on the computer that will monitor and configure the router.

Connecting to the Ethernet Port

You use the Ethernet (10BaseT) port to configure and manage the router. You use this configuration option when you need to manage the router from a remote computer that is connected to your LAN. For more information about the configuration and management capabilities, see Accessing the Router Administrator Using the Ethernet Port on page 3-3.

To connect to the Ethernet port:

1Be sure the router is turned off.

2Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the router.

3Move the E-S switch to the E position. See Figure 2-9 on page 2-7.

4Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a network hub, router, or other network connection.

Powering Up All Devices

After you have made all of the SCSI and RS-232 connections, you are ready to power up the router and all devices connected to it. For best results, use a two-stage setup procedure. First, connect all SCSI devices and the RS-232 port to ensure proper operation. Second, connect the FC host port and finish installation.

To power up SCSI devices:

1Be sure the router is turned off.

2Attach the power cable to the back of the router. See Figure 2-9 on page 2-7.

3Plug the power cable into a power source.

4Connect the SCSI devices to the router using the appropriate SCSI cables.

5Power up the connected SCSI storage devices and allow them to come ready.

6Power up the router and allow it to come ready.

The ST status light stays a steady yellow. See Understanding the LED Status Lights on page 2-11.
