Step 6. Connect the Workstation to the Switch

Connect the CPU0 blade Ethernet port directly to the workstation using an Ethernet cable, or indirectly through a switch or hub. The Ethernet port automatically discovers straight and cross-over cables. You must have a live Ethernet connection when the workstation powers up.

NOTE: The Maintenance Panel Ethernet ports on the front of the switch are disabled and should not be used for the initial installation. You can enable the Maintenance Panel Ethernet ports after the switch is operational.
