Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Note: Backing up the configuration is strongly recommended. This ensures that a complete configuration is available if required for a replacement switch. For instructions on how to back up the configuration, refer to "Backing Up System Configuration Settings" in Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Switches into an Existing SAN Use these steps to set up more than one edge switch in an existing SAN. 1. Connect the appropriate components as outlined in the installation section of this chapter. 2. Connect the power cord to the AC connector on the switch. The switch performs POST. ■ If a malfunction occurs during POST, error messages are written to the switch error log and can be viewed by a telnet or terminal session when the POST session completes. ■ If the malfunction prohibits the switch from completing the boot process (fatal error), the switch stops the boot process. If the switch does not fully boot, the switch prompt will not be displayed when the Serial port is connected. 3. Connect the Serial cable, provided in the package contents, between a host computer and the Serial port of the switch. See the "Setting Network Addresses via a Serial Connection" earlier in this chapter, to make a Serial connection through a workstation and to set the IP address. 68 SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
