Installation Tasks
Task 6: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Management Server
The management server is a1U high, rack-mount unit with the SAN
management application and Sphereon 3032 Switch or Sphereon 3232
Switch element manager applications installed. The applications
provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for operating and managing
the switch and other McDATA products. The management server
also includes a TightVNC Viewer Version 1.2.7 client-server software
control package that provides remote network access (through a
standard web browser) to the server desktop. For information about
the TightVNC Viewer, refer to www.tightvnc.com.
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 the
SAN management application 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.
