Configuring the switch
Once you have set up the SAN24B-5 in a rack or as a standalone switch, it is time
to attach power and set up a basic configuration. If you are going to use the
SAN24B-5 in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the
basic configuration.
See the EZSwitchSetup CD, included with the switch, for more information. You can
also use the SAN24B-5 Quick Start Guide. If you do not want to use EZSwitch
Setup, follow the instructions in this section.
To configure the switch, perform the following tasks.
v “Providing power to the switch”
v “Creating a serial connection” on page 15
v “Setting the switch IP address” on page 15
v “Setting the switch date and time” on page 16
v “Installing SFP+ transceivers and connecting cables” on page 19
Attention: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is
correctly set.
Providing power to the switch
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place
hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that
attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent
an electrical shock. (D004)
Follow these steps to power on the switch:
1. Connect the power cord to the power supply. Repeat if a second power supply
is installed.
2. Connect the other end of the power cord(s) to a power source. If using two
power supplies, be sure to connect the cords on separate circuits to protect
against AC failure. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6 in.
available and are routed to avoid stress.
3. Power on the power supplies by flipping the AC switches to the “|” symbol.
The power supply LED will display amber until POST is complete, and then
change to green. The switch usually requires several minutes to boot and
complete POST.
Attention: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply
is connected and turned on.
4. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the
left of the port side of the switch are both green. See “Port side of the switch”
on page 3 for the specific location of these LEDs.
Attention: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is set.
