EMC Connectrix B DS-5000B Hardware Reference Manual
1. 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.
2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to "I".
The power supply LED lights up green, and the switch begins
running POST. The switch requires a minimum of three 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.
3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status
LEDs on the left of the port side of the switch are green.
To create a serial connection to the DS-5000B:
1. Remove the plug from the serial port and insert the serial cable
provided with the DS-5000B.
2. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to a
serial port on the workstation.
3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the
workstation.
4. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal for
Windows or TERM in a UNIX environment) and configure the
application as follows:
• In a Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT environment:
Bits per second:9600
Databits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
• In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the
prompt:
tip /dev/ttyyb -9600
