1 About this guide This guide provides site preparation recommendations, step-by-step procedures for rack mounting and desk mounting, inserting modules, and connecting to a power source. CAUTION: To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, wear grounding wrist straps when handling this equipment. WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel can install this equipment. Read this guide before you install and power up this equipment. This equipment contains two power cords.
2 MXG610s Setup Guide Topics: • Blade server preparation • Switch module installation • Serial connection • Static IP addresses • Optical transceivers and cabling installation • Port-side LEDs • Additional country-specific IEEE notices Blade server preparation Before you insert the switch module in the blade server chassis, meet the following conditions: • The blade server is powered up. • The blade server chassis meets all its specific power requirements.
NOTE: The switch module works in switch module slots C1 and C2 in the blade server chassis. Do not insert the switch module in any other slot because this action may damage the chassis or switch module connector pins. 1 Remove the orange plastic protective cover for the backplane connector.

Figure 3. Switch module orientation 3 1 Backplane connectors 3 Switch module latch in open position 2 Switch module top view Open the release lever, and slide the switch module into the blade server chassis slot completely.
You hear a click when the switch module is locked in the blade server chassis I/O module bay. If the power is on in the blade server chassis, locking the switch module in the module bay provides power and turn-ons the switch module and the LEDs. The switch module then runs POSTs. These tests can take up to two minutes to complete. After the power/status LED light is steady green for at least two minutes, the module is ready to use.
• In a UNIX environment using TIP, enter tip /dev/ttyb -9600. at the prompt. • 4 If you are already using ttyb, use ttya instead and enter tip /dev/ttya -9600 at the prompt. Press enter when the terminal emulator application stops reporting information to display the login prompt. Switch Console Login: 5 Log in to the switch module as admin, using the default password: password. You are prompted to change the default admin and user passwords at initial login.
The I/O modules display. NOTE: You may also access the WebTools configuration UI to manage the switch module by typing the switch module IP address into any supported web browser. Figure 5. I/O modules list 3 Select the I/O module name, IP address, or View Details on the right side of the display. The Overview tab is displayed. Select the Settings tab. Figure 6. Settings tab 4 Click and expand the Network option.
Figure 7. Networking settings 5 Click and expand the Management option. Specify a hostname and root password. Click Apply. Figure 8. Management settings 6 Click and expand the Monitoring option. Select the Enable SNMP check box, the SNMP version, and enter a read community string. Click Apply.
Figure 9. Monitoring settings 7 Click and expand the Advanced Settings option. Select the needed check boxes. Figure 10. Advanced settings 8 Click Apply. You have configured the IP address and other settings for the switch module. Optical transceivers and cabling installation NOTE: When cabling SFP+ optical transceivers, start from port 0, then port 17, and then the other ports.
For instructions specific to a cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s documentation. Port-side LEDs Each switch module uses bicolored external LEDs to indicate operation status. After you install the switch module in a blade server chassis I/O module, the LEDs become active. Figure 11. Switch module front panel LEDs 1 FC port 0 status LED 2 FC port 17 status LED 3 FC port 24 status LED 4 Module power status LED 5 Module identification LED Table 1.
LED Description FC port status LED • Blinking blue—Module is being identified. • Both off—No light or signal carrier—no module, no cable—for the media interface Solid amber—Receiving light or signal carrier, but not yet online Slow flashing amber, 2-second intervals —Disabled; results of diagnostics or the portdisable command. • • • • • • • Fast flashing amber, 1/2-second intervals—Error occurred, fault with port.
