1. Press OK to activate the display.

Performing the Initial Settings
Preparing the Connection
1. Connect the system private LAN of all the platforms composing the
Electra VS to a single GigE switch:

For blade centers: insert an SFP coupler on interface x1 of the
first internal switch of the blade center, and connect it to the
GigE switch.
 For 1RU devices: connect NIC 1 to the GigE switch.
Check that Electra VS is not yet connected to a LAN. Factory-set IP
addresses may cause disturbance (address conflict) on the LAN
when Electra VS is switched on.
Gigabit copper couplers are not fast-Ethernet compliant. Make sure
you use a device that is able to process Gigabit.
