Task 2: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Ethernet Hub (Optional)

The Sphereon 3032 Switch or Sphereon 3232 Switch is managed

through either:

• An Internet connection to a browser-capable PC (SANpilot

interface). Connection of a LAN segment with multiple switches

to the Internet may require installation of the McDATA-supplied

24-port Ethernet hub.

• A 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) LAN connection to both the

rack-mount management server and a browser-capable PC.

Connectivity may require installation of the McDATA-supplied

24-port Ethernet hub. A combination of up to 48 McDATA

products can be configured and managed on one network,

therefore multiple, daisy-chained hubs may be required to

provide sufficient port connections.

The following paragraphs provide instructions to unpack and inspect

one or more Ethernet hubs, and install the hubs in a desktop or

rack-mount configuration.

the Ethernet Hub Unpack and inspect the Ethernet hub(s) as follows:

1. Inspect shipping container(s) for damage caused during transit. If

a container is damaged, ensure a representative from the freight

carrier is present when the container is opened.

2. Unpack shipping container(s) and inspect each item for damage.

Ensure the packaged items correspond to the items listed on the

enclosed bill of materials.

3. If any items are damaged or missing, contact the McDATA

solution center as follows:

Phone: (800) 752-4572 or (720) 566-3910

Fax: (720) 566-3851

Desktop Installation To install and configure up to three Ethernet hubs on a desktop:

1. Remove the backing from the four adhesive rubber pads and

apply the pads to the underside of each hub. Ensure the pads

are aligned with the scribed circles at each corner.
