4. For redundant-controller configurations only:
If an MSA SAN Switch is being installed in the secondary slot, remove the
blanking panel and install the switch in the open slot, as previously illustrated
in
step 2
and
step 3
.
To remove the blanking panel, loosen the thumbscrew that holds the blanking
panel in place and remove the blank from the back of the unit.
See
Figure 6
for an illustration of removing the blanking panel.
Figure 6: Removing the blanking panel
Save the blanking panel for re-use in the event the redundant switch is ever
removed. Either an embedded device or the blanking panel must always be in
place for proper airflow and cooling.
Note:
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. The
shipping IP address for the MSA SAN Switch is 10.77.77.77. For instructions on setting
the IP address, see “Configuring the MSA SAN Switch 2/8.”
