2 Cabinet installation for a Brocade 5100 ATTENTION Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see "Brocade 5100 configuration" Cabinet installation for a Brocade 5100 You must use one of three rack mount kits to install a Brocade 5100 in a cabinet. A rack mount kit can be installed in two ways: • To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the cabinet. • To allow the non-port side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 7.62 cm (3 inches) back from the edge of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables. Whichever mounting method you choose, follow the installation instructions shipped with the appropriate rack mount kit: • To install the switch into a fixed-rail rack, refer to the Fixed Rack Mount Kit Installation Procedure. • To install the switch into a slide-rail rack, refer to the Slide Rack Mount Kit Installation Procedure. • To install the switch into mid-mount rack, refer to the Mid-Mount Rack Mount Kit (Switch) Installation Procedure. Brocade 5100 configuration Once you have set up the Brocade 5100 in a rack or as a standalone switch, it is time to give it power and a basic configuration. If you are going to use the Brocade 5100 in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration. See the EZSwitchSetup CD, included with the Brocade 5100 for more information. You can also use the Brocade 5100 Quick Start Guide. If you do not want to use EZSwitchSetup, follow the instructions in the rest of this section. Providing power to the switch Perform the following steps to provide power to the Brocade 5100. 1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources 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. 2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to the "1" symbol. The power supply LEDs display amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually requires from 1 to 3 min to boot and complete POST. ATTENTION Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on. 10 Brocade 5100 Hardware Reference Manual 53-1000854-02
