Page 11: Rack The Topspin 360
To install field replaceable units (FRUs), perform the following steps: Install any expansion modules (Fibre Channel gateways or Ethernet gateways): Remove any filler panels from slots that will have a card installed. Begin by filling the first gateway slot (slot 2). Install Ethernet and/or Fibre Channel gateways, as appropriate to your Topspin system. - Page 12 Attach the side flanges to the sides of the chassis with the screws provided, as shown Figure 1-1 Figure 1-2. Figure 1-1: Positioning the Side Flanges Figure 1-2: Fastening the Side Flanges If necessary for your rack, add fasteners with appropriate threads to your rack to prepare your rack for the rails.

• Flow control: None Connect a power cord to your Topspin 360, then plug the cord in to an appropriate power source. The Topspin 360 boots. After the system boots, press the Enter key several times to display the CLI login prompt. Example Login: Enter super as your user ID and password to log in as a user with administrative privileges. -
Page 19: Obtain An Ip Address With Dhcp
Save the configuration to preserve it between reboots. Example Topspin-360(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# exit Topspin-360(config)# exit Topspin-360# copy running-config startup-config Attach an Ethernet cable from the management port to the Ethernet router or switch. You are now ready to use the out-of-band Ethernet port to manage the system. Obtain an IP Address with DHCP Enter the enable command. - Page 20 Use InfiniBand cables to connect the HCA in your host to the InfiniBand switch card of your Topspin 360. To plug in an InfiniBand cable, push the connector into the interface until you hear/feel a click.
