Sun Microsystems SG-XPCIE2FCGBE-E-Z manual To Connect the Ethernet Cable, To Apply Power

▼To Connect the Ethernet Cable

Use high-quality Ethernet cable, category 5e or category 6, that adheres to the specifications in TABLE 2-3.

TABLE 2-3Ethernet Cable Specifications

Ethernet Cable	Maximum Length	Connector
Cat5e UTP	100 meters	8P8C
Cat6 UTP	100 meters	8P8C

1.Connect the ethernet cable to RJ-45 connectors on the HBA (see FIGURE 2-2).

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet device.

After the ethernet cable is connected to the HBA, you are ready to apply power to the system. If power is already applied to the system, proceed to “Configuring the HBA for Hot-Plug Operation” on page 18.

▼To Apply Power

1.Verify that the HBA is securely installed in the system.

2.Verify that the correct fiber-optic cable is attached.

3.Verify that the correct ethernet cable is attached.

4.Refer to your system installation or service manual to determine how to power on the system blade.

5.Observe the light-emitting diode (LED) status for the power-on self test (POST) results as shown in TABLE 2-4.

TABLE 2-4summarizes LED indicator combinations. Refer to FIGURE 2-3to determine the location of the LEDs. Each FC port has a corresponding set of LEDs that provide a visual indication of the operating state.

TABLE 2-4Fibre channel LED Indicator Status Definitions

Green LED	Yellow LED	State
On	1 fast blink	1-Gb link rate - Normal operating state, link up
On	2 fast blinks	2-Gb link rate - Normal operating state, link up
On	3 fast blinks	4-Gb link rate - Normal operating state, link up
Off	Off	Wake-up failure (failed board)
