Installation
Before the MSA Fabric Switch 6 can communicate with Compaq-managed devices,
all devices must be properly connected and powered on.
Ethernet RJ-45 Cable
This connector is provided for management through Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). By default, the MSA Fabric Switch 6 is configured to use an IP
address of 127.0.0.1. To change this IP address, use ACU-XE, a terminal, or a
terminal emulator connected to the DB-9 serial port. Refer to Chapter 2, “Initial
Configuration of the Switch,” for more detailed information on this subject.
DB-9 Serial Cable
This connector is provided for advanced configuration and management.
The MSA Fabric Switch 6 is designed to function directly out of its shipping
container with no special configuration required. However, you have the ability to
configure and monitor various aspects of the MSA Fabric Switch 6 by using
ACU-XE or CIM-XE or by connecting a terminal or terminal emulator to the serial
port. See Chapter 2, “Initial Configuration of the Switch,” for more information on
using this interface.
