10 Install HCAs and Drivers in Hosts Refer to the HP Dual-port 4x Fabric Adapter Quick Setup Installation card and the HP Dual-port 4x Fabric Adapter User Guide. Install and Power on the InfiniBand Chassis Refer to the HP 24-Port 4x Fabric Copper Switch Hardware Quick Setup Installation card and the HP 24-Port 4x Fabric Copper Switch Hardware User Guide for installation and power instructions. Configure Basic Connectivity The InfiniBand switch is not pre-configured with an IP address. You must configure the IP address of a management port to administer and monitor the InfiniBand switch with the CLI and Element Manager. A Management port is provided for a connected Ethernet host running TCP/IP or connected InfiniBand hosts running IPoIB. Configure the Management port you wish to use. • "Configuring an Ethernet Management IP Address" on page 10 • "Configuring an InfiniBand Management IP Address" on page 12 Configuring an Ethernet Management IP Address To configure an out-of-band Ethernet Management IP address: 1. Make sure that the InfiniBand switch is attached to a PC or terminal via the serial port. Refer to the HP 24-Port 4x Fabric Copper Switch Hardware Quick Setup Installation card and the HP 24-Port 4x Fabric Copper Switch Hardware User Guide. 2. Open a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal for Windows®, and set the session parameters as follows: • Baud: 9600 b/s • Data Bits: 8 • Parity: None • Stop Bits: 1 • Flow control: None 3. At the Login: prompt, enter the username and password. The default is super and super. Example Login: super Password: super Topspin-360> 4. At the CLI prompt, enter enable. This enters the privileged-execute mode. Topspin-360> enable 5. Enter configure to enter the global-configuration mode. Topspin-360# configure Topspin-360(config)#
