Switch Setup

The information in this section focuses on the software and firmware aspects of the initial set-up.

NOTE: The HP Fabric switch may be used without being managed, however HP recommends configuring an IP address on the Ethernet Management port as detailed below.

Connect Cables to Switch

A kit for connecting a PC (or other system) to the switch for initial configuration is included with the switch, and consists of:

•MX-9-1 DB-9 (plug) to RJ-45 adapter

•FS-10-1 DB-9 (receptacle) to RJ-45 adapter

•RJ-45 rollover cable

Attaching a Serial Console Cable Connect a PC or terminal to the console port of the switch using a straight-through cable; use the straight-through M/F serial cable, which is provided in the package. The serial port has a RJ-45 console connector.

For detailed information on how to connect the serial console cable, please see the documentation included with the serial cable kit.

Connecting to Other Devices This section describes how to connect the system to other network devices. HP Fabric Copper Switch devices can be connected to HP Fabric servers, or other HP Fabric switches.

The HP Fabric Copper Switch modules support the following types of connectors:
