Attaching the management module's Ethernet Port
to a network
The management module's 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port
(RJ-45 UTP connector) allows you to connect the management port to a network. A management
station in your existing management network can then access a BigIron RX Series switch using the
IronView Network Manager.
To attach the management module's Ethernet port to a network, you need a Category 5 UTP
straight-through cable (not supplied by Brocade). Connect one end of the straight-through cable to
the management port and the other end to the network.
Powering-on the power source
After you complete the hardware installation, you can power-on your power source.
1. Verify that all modules and power supplies are fully and properly installed and no module slots
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot blank in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system may overheat.
2. If you are supplying a DC power source to a BigIron RX Series chassis, attach the power cables
3. If your power source is AC, attach one end of a Brocade-supplied AC power cord to the AC
