Installation Tasks

NOTE: The management server and related applications provide a GUI to

monitor and manage McDATA products, and are a dedicated hardware and

software solution that should not be used for other tasks. McDATA tests

applications installed on the management server, but does not compatibility

test other third-party software. Modifications to the management server

hardware or installation of additional software (including patches or service

packs) may interfere with normal operation.

Unpack, inspect, and install the management server as follows:

1. Inspect the shipping container for damage caused during transit.

If a container is damaged, ensure a representative from the freight

carrier is present when the container is opened.

2. Unpack the shipping container and inspect each item for damage.

Ensure the packaged items correspond to the items listed on the

enclosed bill of materials.

3. If any items are damaged or missing, customers should call the

toll-free telephone number printed on the service label attached

to the bottom of the server.

4. Perform one of the following:

• For a desktop installation, position the management server on

a table or desktop as directed by the customer. Ensure a

grounded AC electrical outlet is available.

• For a cabinet installation, open the rack-mount kit and inspect

the contents. Refer to the enclosed bill of materials and verify

all parts are delivered.

Install the management server in the equipment cabinet. Refer

to the 1U Server Rack-Mount Kit Installation Instructions

(958-000310) for guidance.
