Installation guide

Step 3 On the console monitor, the management blade application displays a login screen. Log in by

using these defaults:

username root

password root

The management blade Console Main menu appears.

Note If the BX600 system is already configured, obtain the management blade username

and password from the system administrator. If you use root for the username and

password, you must change them later. See the BX600 system documentation for

more information.

Step 4 To power on the BX600 system, use these menu choices in the Console Main menu:

a. Enter 1 (Management Agent). The Management Agent menu appears.

b. Enter 3 (System Information). The System Information menu appears.

c. Enter 2 (Power Supply). The Power Supply menu appears.

d. Enter 1 (Power Control). The Power Control menu appears.

e. Enter 2 to power on the BX600 system.

f. Enter 0 at each menu to return to the main menu.

Note The management blade console menu uses a hot key to return to a previous menu. The default

is set to Ctrl–Q. For some terminal emulation programs, Ctrl–Q might not work. You can

reset the hot key in the Console Redirection Table menu. Choose a character from A-Z,

excluding M. The hot key to exit console redirection and return to the previous mode is then

Ctrl + the character you have set. For more information, see the BX600 system

documentation.

Step 5 Install the blade switch by following the instructions in the “Installing the Blade Switch in the

BX600 System” section on page 9, and then return to this section.

Step 6 After you have installed the blade switch in the BX600 system, wait for the blade switch port

11x LED to blink green before you continue.

Step 7 Enter 3 (Console Redirection) on the main menu to open the Console Redirection Table menu.

Step 8 Enter 2 (Console Redirect Switch Blade) in the Console Redirection Table menu to redirect

the console to the blade switch. The Console Redirection Switch Blade menu appears.

Step 9 Enter 1 if you are configuring the blade switch in the NET1 slot, 2 if you are configuring the

blade switch in the NET2 slot, and so on.
