OOTING THE
S
WITCH AND
SAN
The following procedure is recommended when booting the switch and SAN. Before powering on the
switch and SAN, read the Release Notes, included with the switch contents, to determine any
modifications that may be required for a specific installation.
To boot the switch and SAN:
1. Power on the storage devices (such as JBODs, tape libraries, and RAIDs).
2. Insert the plug end of the switch’s power cord to a properly grounded power source.
3. Insert the power cord’s IEC connector end into the switch’s power receptacle.
The switch powers on and runs Power-On Self-Test (POST) diagnostics to verify the
fundamental integrity of the switch ports. All switch LEDs turn on (LEDs illuminate). Then,
excluding the Ethernet Link and Power LEDs, the LEDs turn off (LEDs extinguish). Once the
switch is operational, the LEDs display current status as described in “Switch LEDs” on page 9.
4. Power on any other switches connected to the SAN.
5. For certain applications, switch configuration must be completed before continuing with the next
step. For information regarding switch configuration, see Chapter 3: Switch Management.
6. After all switches have initialized, power on the hosts.
The network initializes.
7. Check all port LEDs.
The SAN should be fully operational at this point. However, it is appropriate to ensure proper
discovery has taken place and all required devices are participating in the network. Some host
bus adapters may provide this level of functionality or it might be resident in the application
software on the host operating system.
Note: The power cord’s IEC connector plug serves as the switch’s disconnect device. To
cycle power to the switch, remove and reconnect the switch’s power cord.
Note: FC-AL compatible nodes must perform initialization procedures upon power-up in
order to function properly. It is the responsibility of the Fibre Channel driver software
on FC-AL nodes to perform this initialization.
