Attaching a PC or terminal to the console port or 10/100/1000 copper
port
The Console port on the management module has a male DB-9 serial connector, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet copper port or ports
have RJ45 UTP connectors, which allow you to attach a PC or terminal. From the Console port, you can access the system command
line interface (CLI) directly from the PC or terminal or through a Telnet connection. From the Ethernet port, you can access the CLI or
Web Management Interface directly or through a Telnet connection to the PC or terminal.
Before performing this task, you need the following items:
•
A PC running a terminal emulation application or a terminal.
•
To connect the PC or terminal to the console port (RJ45 serial port) of the device, you need an RJ45 to DB-9 adaptor. For the
pinout information, refer to
•
To connect the PC or terminal to a Gigabit Ethernet copper port, you need a category 5 UTP crossover cable, which you must
supply. For information about the port pin assignments, refer to
To attach a PC or terminal to the Console port or Gigabit Ethernet copper port, complete the following tasks.
1.
Connect a PC or terminal to the Console port or a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port using the appropriate cable.
2.
Open the terminal emulation program, and set the session parameters as follows:
•
Baud: 9600 bps
•
Parity: None
•
Data bits: 8
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: None
Attaching a switch to an Ethernet port
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet copper ports on the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management module and the combination Gigabit Ethernet
copper and fiber ports on the FSX management module allow you to attach a networking switch. A management station in your existing
management network can then access the Brocade switch using the Brocade Network Advisor.
For more information, see the "Connecting network devices" task.
Powering on the system
After you complete the hardware installation, you can power on the system. Verify that all modules and power supplies are fully and
properly installed and no module slots are uncovered.
Note the following precautions before powering on the system.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
