Quick Start
Set up the switch
For complete installation requirements,
see the User Guide.
1 Remove the switch and parts from the
box.
2 If you plan to install the switch in a 19-
inch rack, remove the four front panel
screws on each side of the unit, then use
the screws included in the accessory kit
to fasten the rack-mount brackets.
3 Install the switch in a rack or on a shelf.
Install the carrier
tray module
1 Slide the carrier tray module into Slot 5
(the bottom slot) until it meets the con-
nector inside the chassis, and the capture
panel screws engage the chassis.
2 Tighten both capture panel screws
simultaneously.
Install the Control
Processor module
1 Slide the Control Processor (CP) mod-
ule into the left side of the carrier tray.
2 Push the module back until it meets the
connector inside the chassis, and the
capture panel screws engage the carrier
tray.
3 Tighten both capture panel screws
simultaneously.
4 If you ordered a second module, remove
the face plate on the right side of the
bottom slot and follow the instructions
above to install the module.

Install additional
power supplies
If you purchased an additional power sup-
ply, place it in one of the empty power
supply bays at the top of the chassis.
1 Loosen and remove the capture panel
screws on the face plate of the power
supply bay.
2 Push the power supply into the power
supply bay until the capture panel
screws engage the chassis.
3 Tighten the capture panel screws.
ActInstall the
network modules
You can install network modules, such as
the 1000Base-SX, 1000BaseLX /
1000BaseSX and 10/100Base-TX, in any
available slot on the chassis
1 Remove the filler panels from any slots
(1-4) that will hold network modules.
2 Push the module back until it connects
with the backplane connector, and the
capture panel screws engage the chassis.
3 Tighten both capture panel screws
simultaneously.
4 Leave the filler panels in any unused
slots. Doing so keeps dust out of the
switch and helps maintain proper air-
flow.

Management Options
Configure and
manage the switch
Option 1: Local Management
1 Connect your PC directly to the Console port on
the Control Processor module using the
included null modem cable.
2 Set a VT-100-compatible terminal emulation
program (such as HyperTerminal*) to these
parameters:
3 At the Password prompt, press Enter. By
default, no password is set. See the User Guide
for information on setting passwords.
4 Configure IP settings:
At the prompt, type
ifconfig et0 [x.x.x.x] netmask [y.y.y.y]
• The out-of-band port or management port on
the front of the CP is identified as interface
et0.
• [x.x.x.x] is the IP address you want to assign
to the switch.
• [y.y.y.y] is the subnet mask you want to
assign to the switch.
The IP address allows you to access and manage the
switch using a Web browser or Telnet application.
Note: In-band through the switched ports is identified by interfaces sw1 through sw4093
and are assigned for each VLAN configured to use IP.
For example
Enter the following commands on a single line.
See the User Guide for complete information on
using Local Management and configuring VLANs.
- 9600 baud - 8 data bits
- No parity - 1 stop bit
out-of-band ifconfig et0 134.134.34.122 netmask 255.255.0.0
in-band ifconfig sw1 134.134.34.122 netmask 255.255.0.0

server, (see table above for requirements)
double-click the Intel Device View icon to
run the program. The MAC address of the
new switch appears under Unconfigured
Devices in the SNMP Device Tree. Double-
click the MAC address to assign an IP
address to the switch.
