2. Installation
Power-On Self Test
When the switch is powered on, it will run a self-test to ensure that all devices are
working correctly. During this test, the switch will detect and start any CrossFire
8650 or 8651 UEM in its expansion slot.
The module will then perform an internal power-on self-test. The test takes a few
minutes. During this time, the DIAG and ERR LEDs will remain lit and the other
LEDs may turn on and off.
If the test reveals no problems, at the end of the test the DIAG and ERR LEDs will
turn off and the module will enter its normal operational state
If the test reveals a problem, at the end of the test the DIAG LED will turn off but
the ERR LED will remain on. Messages in the message log or on the console will
describe the problem.
Configuration
There are two ways to manage CrossFire 8650 and 8651 UEMs:
•
From the switch console, via Telnet or directly with a VT100 terminal
emulator on the RS-232 port.
•
Through the SNMP-based graphical management application OC-8840.
Chapter 3, “Console Configuration”, describes console configuration. The
management application is described in its online help.
All configuration parameters are stored by the switch and not by the module. This
means that the modules can be exchanged without reconfiguring the switch.
Note, however, that a UEM’s software image is stored on the module itself and will
follow the module if you move it to another switch.
Default Configuration
When a CrossFire 8650 or 8651 UEM is inserted into an expansion slot for the first
time, the switch will assume the default configuration. Each HSTR port:
•
is enabled
•
is set to
Auto
mode
•
has one virtual port in the default CRF
This configuration is suitable for connecting both HSTR adapters and other HSTR
switch ports to the default CRF. If more advanced configurations are required, refer
to the Chapter 3, “Console Configuration” for details.
