Chapter 3 Installing the Switches
Configuring Basic Connectivity
Step 8 Set the default gateway for the management interface. See your system administrator for a gateway
address.
SFS-7000D(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# gateway ip address
Step 9 Enable the management interface by entering the no shutdown command.
SFS-7000D(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# no shutdown
Step 10 Save the configuration to preserve it between reboots.
SFS-7000D(config-if-mgmt-ethernet)# exit
SFS-7000D(config)# exit
SFS-7000D# copy running-config startup-config
Connecting the 10/100 Ethernet Management Port
The autosensing 10/100 Ethernet management port is located on the rear panel/port connectors side of
the Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches. (See Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8.) The Ethernet
management port is used for out-of-band management of the Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server
Switches.
Use the CAT-5 twisted pair RJ-45 straight-through cable to connect the 10/100 Ethernet management
port to external hubs, switches, and routers.
Powering Up the Chassis
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing.
Statement 1034
When you power up the chassis, use only the power cable provided with your InfiniBand system.
To power up the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the power cords from the shipping package.
Two power cords are available: UL-rated, 10 amps and 125 VAC or greater.
Step 2 Inspect the power cord to determine if it provides the proper plug and is appropriately certified for use
with your electrical system. Discard the cord if it is inappropriate for your national electrical system,
and obtain the proper cord, as required by your national electrical codes or ordinances.
Grounding is supplied by the ground prong on the three-prong power plug. Do not attach a separate
ground cable, and do not use adapter plugs. Do not remove the ground prong from the cable. Be sure that
the ground connection on the power supply is correct and functioning before applying power to the
switch.
Step 3 Connect the power cords to the power connectors on the rear of the switch.
The system automatically boots up. You can watch the operation status by using the serial console.
For power connector locations for the Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch, see Figure 3-9. For power
connector locations for the Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch, see Figure 3-10.
