Installation Tasks
Task 1: Verify Installation Requirements
Verify that the following requirements are met prior to director and
management interface installation. Ensure:
• A site plan and planning tasks are complete. Refer to the
McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
(620-000124).
• Fibre Channel SAN design is complete. Refer to the McDATA
Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual (620-000124).
• Support is available for one of the following product
management methods:
— A management server or browser-capable PC and LAN
segment connectivity to support operation of SAN
management and Element Manager applications, or
— A browser-capable PC and Internet connectivity to support
the product-resident EFCM Basic Edition interface.
• Support equipment and technical personnel are available for the
installation.
• The required number and type of fiber-optic jumper cables are
delivered and available. Ensure cables are the correct length and
have the required connectors.
• A Fabricenter cabinet or standard 19-inch equipment rack and
associated hardware are available.
• Remote workstations or simple network management protocol
(SNMP) workstations are available (optional). Workstations are
connected through a public or dedicated LAN segment.
Task 2: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Ethernet Hub (Optional)
The director is managed through either:
• A 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) LAN connection to a
management server. Connectivity may require installation of a
24-port Ethernet hub. A combination of up to 48 products can be
configured and managed on one network, therefore multiple,
daisy-chained hubs may be required to provide sufficient port
connections.
