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.

SAN Switch 2/32 Installation Guide
Installing Multiple Switches into an Existing SAN
Use these steps to set up more than one SAN Switch 2/32 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 “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.
4.
Set the switch Domain Address using the
configure
command to the next
unused domain in the SAN. The default domain setting is 1.
Note:
If a switch boot failure occurs, the switch must be taken offline for repair or
replacement. Contact your HP Technical Support for assistance.
5.
Power off the new switch and connect one Fibre Channel cable from the SAN
to the new switch.
