Guide (downloadable from Powerlink.emc.com) if you want to choose a different setup.
Getting ready
Ensure that you have the items listed below. You can either set the IP address of your switch manually or you can use a DHCP
server. If you are going to use a static IP address, write down the network values in the space provided.
Install and start EZSwitchSetup
1. Insert the EZSwitchSetup CD into the CD-ROM drive of your setup computer. The installer will autostart in about a minute.
2. Install EZSwitchSetup following the onscreen directions. Installation will take a few minutes after you click OK.
3. Wait for EZSwitchSetup to start, which should happen automatically after it is installed.
For Windows and Linux instructions, refer to the EZSwitchSetup Administrator’s Guide (available on the installation CD).

IP address, the switch must have DHCP enabled and firmware 6.1.0 or later installed. The DHCP server must also be on the
same subnet as the switch.
