Connecting the cables and other hardware
After you have installed the unit into the rack, connect the cables and other hardware.
1. Connect the system to a management workstation or network.
•
If you are using a serial terminal as the console, connect the serial console cable supplied by F5
Networks to the console port.
•
If you are using a management workstation, connect an Ethernet cable to the management interface.
2. For a redundant system configuration with hard-wired failover capacity, connect the failover cable to
the failover port on each unit.
3. For AC-powered systems, connect the power cable to the power input panel, and then connect it to the
power source. For DC-powered systems, wire the DC power terminal block and connect the power
supply to a DC power source.
4. Power on the unit.
You can now assign a management IP address and license the system.
Optionally, you should run the latest version of the qkview utility. This utility collects configuration and
diagnostic information about your system into a single file that you can provide to F5 Support to aid in
troubleshooting. For more information, see

.

The management IP address enables you to access the Configuration utility to configure other aspects of
the product, such as the product license, VLANs, and trunks.
1. Press the X button on the LCD panel to enter Menu mode.
2. Use the arrow keys to select System, and then press the Check button.
