Switch Setup - HP SN6000B Quick Start Instructions

2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to prevent the
switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner on the
bottom of the switch to ensure that they are
free of dust or other debris.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis,
place one rubber foot in each indentation
and press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Connect the power cords to both power supplies
and then to power sources on separate circuits to
protect against AC failure. Ensure that the cords
have a minimum service loop of 6 inches
available and are routed to avoid stress.
5. Power on the power supplies by setting both AC
switches to the on position (|).
The power supply LEDs are amber until POST is
complete, and then change to green. The switch
takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE: Power is supplied to the switch as
soon as the first power supply is connected
and turned on.
6. After POST is complete, verify that the switch
power and status LEDs on the port side of the
switch are green.

Switch setup

To set up the switch, you will need the following:
Standard screwdriver
If you are using static IP addressing, you will need
the following items (not required if you are using
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)):
Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch
◦
Subnet mask value
◦
◦ Default gateway value
World Wide Name (WWN), located on the
switch ID pull-out tab
Ethernet connection (hub or switch)
Ethernet and Fibre Channel cables
Disk array with Fibre Channel ports
Browser that allows pop-up windows
Connect the serial cable
1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the
switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the
workstation.
If the serial port is RJ-45 instead of RS-232,
remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable
and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the
RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
2. Disable any serial communication programs
running on the workstation.
3. Open a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal
on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment) and configure the application as
follows:
For most Windows systems:
Bits per second: 9,600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
For most UNIX systems:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, try ttya instead:
tip /dev/ttya -9600
Log in to the serial console port
1. Verify that the switch has completed POST.
When POST is complete, the port status, switch
power, and status LEDs return to a normal state.
2. When the terminal emulator stops reporting
information, press Enter to display the login
prompt.
3. Log in to the switch as admin, using the default
password, password.
You are prompted to change the default password
at initial login.
NOTE: You can configure the switch using a
static IP address or DHCP. With DHCP (enabled
by default), the switch obtains its IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway address from
the DHCP server. The DHCP client can connect
only to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet
as the switch. The Ethernet cable must be
connected to the management Ethernet port on
the switch if you are using DHCP. If you are
using a static IP address, see
