Powering-on the power source 2 Attaching the management module's Ethernet Port to a network The management module's 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port (RJ-45 UTP connector) allows you to connect the management port to a network. A management station in your existing management network can then access a BigIron RX Series switch using the IronView Network Manager. To attach the management module's Ethernet port to a network, you need a Category 5 UTP straight-through cable (not supplied by Brocade). Connect one end of the straight-through cable to the management port and the other end to the network. Powering-on the power source After you complete the hardware installation, you can power-on your power source. 1. Verify that all modules and power supplies are fully and properly installed and no module slots are uncovered. CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat. 2. If you are supplying a DC power source to a BigIron RX Series chassis, attach the power cables to the DC power supply as described in the appropriate section: • "Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-4 chassis" on page 36 • "Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-8 chassis" on page 46 • "Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-16 chassis" on page 56 Connect the other end of the cables to the DC power source. Repeat this step for each installed DC power supply. Then switch on the power source. 3. If your power source is AC, attach one end of a Brocade-supplied AC power cord to the AC power supply as described in the appropriate section: • "Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-4 chassis" on page 36 • "Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-8 chassis" on page 45 • "Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-16 chassis" on page 55 • "Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-32 chassis" on page 77 BigIron RX Installation Guide 79 53-1001811-01

Powering-on the power source
2
Attaching the management module’s Ethernet Port
to a network
The management module’s 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port
(RJ-45 UTP connector) allows you to connect the management port to a network. A management
station in your existing management network can then access a BigIron RX Series switch using the
IronView Network Manager.
To attach the management module’s Ethernet port to a network, you need a Category 5 UTP
straight-through cable (not supplied by Brocade). Connect one end of the straight-through cable to
the management port and the other end to the network.
Powering-on the power source
After you complete the hardware installation, you can power-on your power source.
1.
Verify that all modules and power supplies are fully and properly installed and no module slots
are uncovered.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
2.
If you are supplying a DC power source to a BigIron RX Series chassis, attach the power cables
to the DC power supply as described in the appropriate section:
•
“Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-4 chassis”
on page 36
•
“Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-8 chassis”
on page 46
•
“Connecting DC power to a BigIron RX-16 chassis”
on page 56
Connect the other end of the cables to the DC power source. Repeat this step for each installed
DC power supply. Then switch on the power source.
3.
If your power source is AC, attach one end of a Brocade-supplied AC power cord to the AC
power supply as described in the appropriate section:
•
“Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-4 chassis”
on page 36
•
“Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-8 chassis”
on page 45
•
“Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-16 chassis”
on page 55
•
“Connecting AC power to a BigIron RX-32 chassis”
