Starting Up the Switch

b.Strip the cable ends to allow for metal-to-metal contact. Insert each cable into a separate ring lug, and crimp the lugs around the cables.

c.Insert each cable and lug into the appropriate hole in the front of the PEM and fasten the lugs to the appropriate terminal block screws in the following order:

–Negative (-)

–Positive (+)

d.Secure the cables in place by tightening the terminal block screws.

Step 5 Ensure that all cable connections are secure before sliding the PEM back into the chassis, and then tighten the captive screws.

Caution The DC return connection (Negative (-)) to this system is to remain isolated from the system frame and chassis (DC-I). Loosen the captive screw on the power supply.

Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

Step 6 If a second DC power supply is installed, repeat the procedure for the other DC PEM, using a separate power source to provide redundancy in case of a line failure, and ensuring the related circuit is off.

Caution Leave the power to the DC circuits off until you are ready to provide power to the switch.

Step 7 If there are no other DC power cables to connect and you are ready to power the switch on, restore power to the DC circuit by removing the tape from the circuit breaker handle and flipping the handle to on.

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Note Do not connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial switch configuration has been performed. For instructions on configuring the switch, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

For instructions on connecting to the console port, see the “Connecting to the Console Port” section on page B-2).
