1 Introduction
This guide provides instructions on how to install your Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for
FSC—referred to as the blade switch—in the Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY BX600 S2 system and to set
up and configure it. The PRIMERGY BX600 S2—referred to as the BX600 system—supports up to
four Ethernet blade switches in its blade bays.
This guide also covers management options and troubleshooting help for the blade switch.
For details on the numbers, types, and the location of the BX600 system slots, for additional
information on the BX600 system, and for detailed port mapping information, see the BX600 setup
and installation guide at http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com/primergyservers.html.
For additional installation and configuration information about the blade switch, see the Cisco
Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC documentation on Cisco.com. For system requirements, important
notes, limitations, open and resolved caveats, and last-minute documentation updates, see the release
notes, also on Cisco.com.
When using the online publications, refer to the documents that match the Cisco IOS software version
that is running on the blade switch. See the “Obtaining Documentation” section on page 1-24 for more
information about the related publications.
For translations of the warnings that appear in this publication and all safety and handling warnings
for this product, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco Catalyst Blade
Switch 3040 for FSC that accompanies this guide.
Before proceeding, read the release notes for the BX600 system. The release notes are available on the
FSC support website at http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/com/support/index.html.
2 Taking Out What You Need
These items ship with your blade switch:

Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Blade Switch Description
Figure 1 shows the blade switch, which has these features:
•10 internal Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-X ports
•1 console port
•2 external 10/100/1000BASE-T copper Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports
•4 external small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module uplink ports that support 1000BASE-SX
fiber and 10/100/1000BASE-T copper (only Cisco SFP modules are supported)
Each port has an associated LED. The associated BX600 system management blade controls a System
Status/ID LED.

The blade switch is powered from the BX600 S2 system backplane, and temperature management is
provided by the BX600 S2 system. The blade switch has no fan.
To set up the switch, you need a PC and an Ethernet (Category 5) straight-through cable (as shown)
or a console cable (ships with the product).

3 BX600 System Architecture
The four BX600 system I/O blade slots are on the rear panel (see Figure 2). You can insert blade
switches into the NET1, NET2, NET3, and NET4 I/O blade slots.

Table 1 describes the BX600 system management blade LEDs:
Note For more information about the master and failure management blade LEDs or the advanced
KVM management blade, see the PRIMERGY BX600 Basic Unit Operating Manual.
Consider these requirements before you install your blade switch:
•The NET1 and NET2 slots are a pair. If the NET2 slot is used, the I/O blade in the NET2 slot must
be the same type as the one in the NET1 slot.
•The NET3 and NET4 slots are a pair. If the NET4 slot is used, the I/O blade in the NET4 slot must
be the same type as the one in the NET3 slot.
•If the blade switch is installed in the NET3 and NET4 slots, an Ethernet I/O module (daughter
card) must be installed on the BX600 server.
For information about requirements for installing blades in the BX600 system or the components of
the BX600 system, see the PRIMERGY BX600 Basic Unit Operating Manual.
Table 1 Management Blade LED Descriptions
LED Description
Ethernet port Green: On shows link is up; blinking shows power is on.
Amber: On shows LAN is active; blinking shows power is on.
Master (green) On: The management blade is the master, responsible for managing the entire
system.
Off: The management blade is a slave—a standby or backup of the master
management blade.
Blinking: The management blade is in special mode.
Failure (amber) On: If only one management blade is installed, it has failed.
Off: This management blade is operating normally.
Blinking: The management blade is running in power-on mode, that is, generating
a heartbeat for the master/slave selection.

4 Preparing to Install the Blade Switch in the BX600 System
Before you install the blade switch in the BX600 system, review the safety and compliance
information:
•Review and become familiar with the safety guidelines in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety
Information for the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC that accompanies this guide.
•Review and become familiar with the BX600 system safety guidelines in the BX600 system
documentation.
•Review and become familiar with any temperature, power, and grounding requirements specified
in the BX600 system documentation.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service
this equipment. Statement 1030
Caution To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage when installing blade switches, follow
your normal board and component handling procedures.
Note When you initially configure a blade switch, it should be in the same state as when it was
shipped, that is, unconfigured and with no assigned default username and password.
When you install a blade switch, you do not need to power down the BX600 system.
Overview of Steps for Installing and Configuring the Blade Switch
You can install and configure the blade switch by using either of two methods. In each, you start a
terminal-emulation program on a PC. The terminal-emulation software—a PC application such as
Hyperterminal or ProcommPlus—makes communication between the blade switch and your PC or
terminal possible. The PC communicates with the blade switch either through its console port or
through the console port of BX600 system management blade.
•To set up the blade switch through its console port, start with the next section, “Installing the
Blade Switch in the BX600 System.”
•To set up the blade switch through the BX600 system management blade, first connect it to a PC
to run the terminal emulation program and to interact with the console menu. Do this before you
install the blade switch into the BX600 system. Start with the “Connecting through the BX600
System Management Blade” section on page 13.

Installing the Blade Switch in the BX600 System
Follow these steps to install the blade switch in the BX600 system:
Step 1 Obtain and make note of this information from your system administrator before you begin
the blade switch installation:
– Switch IP address
– Subnet mask (IP netmask)
– Default gateway (router)
– Enable secret password (encrypted)
– Enable password (not encrypted)
– Telnet password
– SNMP community strings (optional)
Step 2 Touch the blade switch static-protective package to unpainted metal on the BX600 system for
at least 2 seconds.
Step 3 Remove any dummy blade from the slot.
Caution Keep dummy blades for future use. If you remove the blade switch and do not replace it
with another one, you must reinstall a dummy blade in that slot.
Step 4 Remove the blade switch from its static-protective package.
Step 5 Select the I/O slot in which to install the blade switch. Follow the installation requirements
listed in the “BX600 System Architecture” section on page 5.
