IBM 9077 manual Configuration Required on the SP System

2.Using appropriate frame entry and exit holes for cable management, route the SP Switch cable between the SP Switch Router unit and the SP Switch.

3.Connect the SP Switch cable to both the media card and the correct SP Switch port, as follows:

•Connection to media card

The EMI shielding fitted inside the connector end can make insertion difficult, so be sure to insert the connector end as perpendicular as possible. (Pins can be damaged when the connector is inserted at too much of an angle.) Seat the connector firmly so the spring clips engage.

•Connection to SP Switch port

The cable ends should click onto the connectors. Determining the correct Switch port is described in Section 3.5.1, “Determining the Switch Connection for a Dependent Node” on page 82.

4.Make sure both ends of the cable are firmly seated by pulling on them lightly.

At this point, the SP Switch Router Adapter card configuration information must be entered on the SP CWS to enable the PSSP code and SP Switch to recognize the adapter. These tasks are discussed in Section 3.5, “Configuration Required on the SP System” on page 81.

3.5 Configuration Required on the SP System

This section describes the SP Switch Router-related configuration information that should be defined by the SP administrator and then entered from the SP CWS before the SP Switch Router Adapter card is configured.

The SP Switch Router-related configuration information includes the following:

•The SP Switch Router Ethernet IP address

•The SP Switch Router Ethernet hostname (that is, the SP Switch Router’s administrative Ethernet hostname)

•Unique node numbers for SP Switch Router Adapter cards

The SP Switch Router Adapter card configuration information enables the PSSP code and the SP Switch to recognize and communicate with this card.
