Power Cycle the Gateway

To run the gateway through a power cycle:

1. Run: halt (if possible)
2. Wait long enough to let the gateway halt, and verify there is no ping to it.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Plug in the power cord.

Accessing and Configuring the Gateway

Access and Configuration

The gateway can be remotely accessed from a Linux terminal by three ways:

Serial Port

SSH

Telnet

The figure below shows the possible connections to the BridgeX controllers and the Management modules.

Figure 8:  I2C, RS232, and GigE Connections

Access through Serial Port

1. Connect the host PC to the RS-232 port of the MTB4000 series gateway using the supplied cable.
2. Make sure to connect to the RS-232 RJ-45 port of the switch and not to the ETH port.

 

Note: No remote IP connection is available at this stage.

If the Gateway is powered off for any reason without using the proper shut 
down procedure the Flash memory may be corrupted.

If the Flash memory is corrupted the Gateway may fail to boot. Should this hap-
pen, call your Mellanox representative for assistance.

Caution: The gateway platform will automatically power on when AC power is 
applied. There is no power switch. Check all boards, power supplies, and fan tray mod-
ules for proper insertion before plugging in a power cable.
