Installing and Configuring the HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B 2

4.Provide power to the switch by completing the following steps:

a.Connect the power cable to the FC 16B power supply and to a power outlet. Ensure the power cable is routed so that it is not exposed to stress.

b.Turn on the power supply (flip the AC switch to “I”) when ready to supply power to the switch. The switch automatically runs POST (power on self-test) each time it is turned on.

c.If the FC 16B includes a second power supply, repeat Steps 4a and 4b for the remaining power supply.

Note Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see Configuring and Connecting the Switch on page 2-9.
