Initial Setup and Verification
Items Required
The following items are required for the initial setup and verification of the device:
•
The device that is mounted and connected to a power source, with the required power supply, fan assemblies,
transceivers, and cables installed.
•
A workstation computer with a terminal emulator application installed, such as PuTTY, XShell, or SecureCRT on
Windows.
•
An unused IP address with a corresponding subnet mask and gateway address.
•
A serial cable with an RJ-45 connector.
•
An Ethernet cable.
•
Access to an FTP server or USB device for uploading (backing up) or downloading the device configuration (optional).
NOTE
Broadcom recommends the use of a USB drive that has been test validated (verified) by Broadcom:

Providing Power to the Device
Perform the following steps to provide power to the device:
1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect against
power failure. Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of 6 in. available and that they are routed to
avoid stress.
2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both switches to the on position (the "I" symbol). The power supply LEDs
display amber until the power-on self-test (POST) is complete, and then the LEDs change to green. The switch usually
requires several minutes to boot and complete the POST.
NOTE
Power is supplied to the device when the first power supply is connected and turned on.
3. After the POST is complete, verify that the switch power and switch status LEDs are green.
For more information about how to interpret the POST, boot, and diagnostics tests, see
.
Establishing a First-Time Serial Connection
Perform the following steps to log on to the device through a serial connection:
1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the device and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation.
If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and
insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
