To ensure adequate bonding when attaching the ground lug, a minimum of 55-65 in-lbs of torque is required to be applied to the
mounting hardware used to attach the ground lug.
All bare grounding connection that points to the Extreme device shall be cleaned and coated with an anti-oxidant solution before
connections are made.
Establishing a serial connection
To establish a serial connection to the console port on the device, complete the following steps.
1. Verify that the device is powered on by verifying that all power LED indicators on the management, interface, power supply, and
fan modules display a steady green light.
2. Connect the RJ-45 serial cable provided with the device to the console port on the active management module.
NOTE
The active management module has the LED labeled ACTIVE on the front panel illuminated in blue.
Use the port labeled CONSOLE, as shown in the following gure.

6. Management Ethernet port, 1G/100M/10M
NOTE
The console or serial port is intended primarily for the initial setting of the IP address.
3. Access the device using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal in a Windows environment or Tip in a UNIX
environment).
4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs).
