2.5 Connect Equipment to the Ports and Power On the System
Note: Before connecting equipment, it is important to understand the locations of the serial
and Ethernet ports on the Omni-Path Fabric series switches. For the edge switch, these
are located on the switch port side.
1. Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector(s) on
the switch. Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to an OOB LAN workstation,
another switch or a hub.
2. Connect the switch to host(s)/switch(es) using QSFP cables.
Caution: It is important to provide strain relief for the cable connector.
