SAN Switch Integrated/32 and Integrated/64 Installation and Hardware Guide
Items Required for Configuring the SAN
Integrated Switch
Prior to configuring the SAN Integrated Switch, make sure you have the following:
■
Serial cable to connect the workstation to each of the switch elements
■
Six unused IP addresses, one for each switch element
■
Workstation that has a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal).
NOTE:
HyperTerminal is the remote communication program provided with
Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows 2000/Windows NT and can be found on the Accessories
menu that displays when you click Start then Programs.
■
Ethernet connections between the workstation and the SAN Integrated Switch
(through a router, hub or concentrator)
Powering Up the Switch Elements
The switch elements do not have power switches. Connect each AC power cord from the
switch element in the SAN Integrated Switch to a power source, in order to power up. You
will see a steady green light indicating that power is on.
1. Firmly seat each power connector into the power source. If no light is showing, power
is not being supplied to the switch element. Check that the power cord is connected at
both ends.
2. Each switch element will perform a POST which can take approximately 2.5 to 5
minutes.
NOTE:
The SAN Integrated Switch meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements; however,
there is no other surge protection built into the AC module.
Connecting the Serial and Ethernet Cables
Each switch element in the SAN Integrated Switch has a serial port connection for initial
configuration of the IP address and for service recovery and an Ethernet connection for
configuration, remote monitoring, testing and management.
