Configuration Procedure This procedure provides instructions for configuring and connecting the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 for use in a network and fabric. To configure and connect the switch: 1. Verify that the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 is on and POST is complete by verifying that all the power LED indicators on the 16-port cards and CP cards are displaying a steady green light. For more information about the LEDs, see "Interpreting LED Activity" on page 54. 2. Log in to the CP card installed in slot 5 by establishing a serial connection to a workstation that has a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal in a Windows environment or TERM in a UNIX environment) by completing the following steps: a. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs for a PDA). b. Remove the shipping cap from the terminal serial port on the CP card installed in slot 5 and insert the serial cable. The terminal serial port is the second serial port from the top of the CP card (see Figure 21 on page 59). c. Connect the other end of the serial cable to a serial port on the workstation. If necessary, remove the adapter on the serial cable to allow for an RJ45 serial connection. d. Open the terminal emulator application and configure with the following parameters: - For Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT, enter the following parameters: Parameter Bits per second Databits Parity Stop bits Flow control Value 9600 8 None 1 None Starting and Configuring the Switch 35

Configuration Procedure
This procedure provides instructions for configuring and connecting the HP
StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 for use in a network and fabric.
To configure and connect the switch:
1.
Verify that the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 is on and POST is
complete by verifying that all the power LED indicators on the 16-port
cards and CP cards are displaying a steady green light. For more
information about the LEDs, see
“Interpreting LED Activity”
on
page 54
.
2.
Log in to the CP card installed in slot 5 by establishing a serial connection
to a workstation that has a terminal emulator application (such as
HyperTerminal in a Windows environment or TERM in a UNIX
environment) by completing the following steps:
a.
Disable any serial communication programs running on the
workstation (such as synchronization programs for a PDA).
b.
Remove the shipping cap from the terminal serial port on the CP card
installed in slot 5 and insert the serial cable. The terminal serial port
is the second serial port from the top of the CP card (see
Figure 21
on
page 59
).
c.
Connect the other end of the serial cable to a serial port on the
workstation. If necessary, remove the adapter on the serial cable to
allow for an RJ45 serial connection.
d.
Open the terminal emulator application and configure with the
following parameters:
For Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT, enter the following
parameters:
