Step4: Completing system setup and configuration

Step 4: Complete system setup and configuration

Complete the system setup and configuration using cluster discovery with only a
connection to the switch and laptop, or by connecting directly to a controller in the system
and then connecting to the management switch.

Option 1: Complete system setup and configuration if network discovery is enabled

If you have network discovery enabled on your laptop, you can complete system setup
and configuration using automatic cluster discovery.

1. Plug the power cords into the controller power supplies, and then connect them to power sources on

different circuits.

The system begins to boot. Initial booting may take up to eight minutes

2. Make sure that your laptop has network discovery enabled.

See your laptop’s online help for more information.

3. Use the following animation to connect your laptop to the Management switch.
