USER’S GUIDE

BOOTING THE SWITCH AND SAN

The following procedure is recommended when booting the switch and SAN. Before powering on the switch and SAN, read the Release Notes, included with the switch contents, to determine any modifications that may be required for a specific installation.

To boot the switch and SAN:

1.Power on the storage devices (such as JBODs, tape libraries, and RAIDs).

2.Insert the plug end of the switch’s power cord to a properly grounded power source.

3.Insert the power cord’s IEC connector end into the switch’s power receptacle.

The switch powers on and runs Power-On Self-Test (POST) diagnostics to verify the fundamental integrity of the switch ports. All switch LEDs turn on (LEDs illuminate). Then, excluding the Ethernet Link, Power Supply/Fan Module, and Power LEDs, the LEDs turn off (LEDs extinguish). Once the switch is operational, the LEDs display current status as described in “Switch LEDs” on page 9.

Note: The power cord’s IEC connector plug serves as the switch’s disconnect device. To cycle power to the switch, remove and reconnect the switch’s power cord.

4.Power on any other switches connected to the SAN.

5.For certain applications, switch configuration must be completed before continuing with the next step. For information regarding switch configuration, see Chapter 3: Switch Management.

6.After all switches have initialized, power on the hosts. The network initializes.

Note: FC-AL compatible nodes must perform initialization procedures upon power-up in order to function properly. It is the responsibility of the Fibre Channel driver software on FC-AL nodes to perform this initialization.

7.Check all port LEDs.

The SAN should be fully operational at this point. However, it is appropriate to ensure that proper discovery has taken place and all required devices are participating in the network. Some host bus adapters may provide this level of functionality or it might be resident in the application software on the host operating system.
