12. Proceed to “Switch setup ” (page 5).

Install a standalone switch

1.Unpack the switch and verify the contents as described in “Verify the SN6000B 16Gb 48-port FC switch carton contents” (page 1) or “Verify the SN3000B 16Gb 24-port FC switch carton contents” (page 2).

2.Apply the adhesive rubber feet to prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface.

a.Clean the indentations at each corner on the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are free of dust or other debris.

b.With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press into place.

3.Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.

Power on the switch

1.Connect a power cord to each power supply present:

•For the 48-port switch, connect the power cords to both power supplies and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.

•For the 24-port switch, connect a power cord to either the single power supply present or to both power supplies, if an optional second power supply is present. Then connect the power cords to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.

Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6 inches available and are routed to avoid stress.

NOTE: If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply, the 24-port switch will also have two power cords.

2.Power on the power supplies by setting the AC switches to the on position ().

The power supply LEDs are amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.

NOTE: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on.

3.After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the port side of the switch are green.

Switch setup

To set up the switch, you will need the following:

•Standard screwdriver

•If you are using static IP addressing, you will need the following items (not required if you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)):

◦Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch

◦Subnet mask value

◦Default gateway value

•World Wide Name (WWN), located on the switch ID pull-out tab

•Ethernet connection (hub or switch)

•Ethernet and Fibre Channel cables

•Disk array with Fibre Channel ports

•Browser that allows pop-up windows

Connect the serial cable

1.Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation.

If the serial port is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.

2.Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.

3.Open a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment) and configure the application as follows:
