 The Heartbeat LED indicates the results of the POST. The POST tests
the condition of firmware, memories, data-paths, and switch logic
circuitry. If the Heartbeat LED blinks steadily about once per second,
the POST was successful, and you can continue with the installation
process. Any other blink pattern indicates that an error has occurred.
Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns” on page 5-2 for more
information about error blink patterns.

Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch
Connect the management workstation to the switch in one of three ways:
 Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch
RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires
a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in Figure 4-6. With this method,
you can manage the switch with the SANbox Manager application or
Command Line Interface.
 Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable
as shown in Figure 4-6. With this method, you can manage the switch with
the SANbox Manager application or Command Line Interface.
 Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch
RS-232 serial port connector. This requires a null modem F/F DB9 cable as
shown in Figure 4-6. With this method, you can manage the switch with
Command Line Interface.
