4 – Installation

Installing a Switch

 

 

 

 

d.About 10 seconds later, the switch is operational: the Input Power LED remains illuminated, the Heartbeat LED flashes steadily, and the two remaining LEDs are extinguished. If the Heartbeat LED blinks steadily about once per second, the POST was successful and you can continue with the installation process. Any other blink pattern indicates that an error has occurred. Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns” on page 5-1for more information about the error blink pattern.

4.Confirm that the Output Power LEDs on both power supplies are illuminated. If not, check the power cords and the AC voltage source. Refer to ”Output Power LED Is Extinguished” on page 5-11for more information about troubleshooting procedures.

4.2.4

Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch

Connect the management workstation to the switch in one of three ways:

Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in Figure 4-3. With this method, you can manage the switch with SANbox Manager or the CLI.

Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable as shown in Figure 4-3. With this method, you can manage the switch with the SANbox Manager application or the CLI.

Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch RS- 232 connector. This requires a null modem F/F DB9 cable as shown in Figure 4-3. With this method, you can manage the switch with the CLI.
