Initialize the Switch

Setup
Fibre cable connections are made to GBICs located on the front panel of the
switch using standard dual SC plug connectors as shown in
Figure 23. Dual SC Fibre Optic Plug Connector
The connectors are keyed and must be inserted into the GBIC module
connector in proper alignment. In most cases, one of the two connector
plugs is a different color to aid in proper connector alignment.
Remove the protective plug from the GBIC. Do not force the fibre

optic plug into the GBIC module as you may damage the connector, the
GBIC module, or both. Make certain the fibre surface is clean and free of
dust or debris before inserting the connector into the GBIC module.
To initialize the switch:
1. Insert the GBICs into the GBIC ports and connect the Fibre Channel cable
to the GBIC. This may be done before or after the switch is initialized.
2. Connect the power cord to the AC module of the switch. The switch
automatically performs a Power On Self Test (POST). The POST will
take approximately 2.5 minutes.
