General Requirements

To manage a Routing Switch, you need the following items for serial connection to the device:
• A management station, such as a PC running a terminal emulation application.
• A straight-through EIA/TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F), which is provided with your HP Routing Switch.
Use the serial connection to perform basic configuration tasks including assigning an IP address and network
mask to the system. This information is required for managing the system using the Web management interface
or using the CLI through Telnet.
WARNING: Do not use the extraction handles on the power supply units to lift or carry the HP 9304M, HP
9308M, or HP 9315M Routing Switch. The power supply extraction handles are not intended to support the weight
of the system and must never be used to lift or move the chassis.
