Before You Begin
Check your packing slip to
verify that you have all the
necessary items.
If your EdgeConnect model
requires it, ensure that you
have the associated rack mount
instructions.
Make sure you have a standard
Phillips screwdriver.
Supply circuits should be
protected by a minimum 15A,
maximum 20A circuit breaker.
On the network equipment,
identify the 10/100/1000
Ethernet ports and/or the
1Gbps/10Gbps ber ports.
1Rack Mount the Appliance
Based on your model, refer to the separate instructions for rack mount,
desk mount, or wall mount.
2Install the Appliance into the Network
a. Identify the relevant ports on the rear of the appliance.
b. Connect the supplied network cables from the appliance to the
identied network equipment ports.
c . DO NOT connect the power cables yet.
All copper RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the Silver Peak appliance
support MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.
The ber interfaces support:
• LC connectors
• multi-mode 50µber / 62.5µber
3Connect Power Cords
Depending on the model, your appliance may have a single power supply,
or redundant power supplies.
a. Connect each power cable to the Silver Peak appliance and to your
local power source.
b. For redundancy, plug in all power cords, preferably to different
power sources.
4Turn the Power On
Some appliances power up as soon as they’re plugged in, others don’t. If
the power is off, turn it on. If you don’t plug in all the power cords, an
audible alarm sounds until you do.
a. Verify that each power supply’s LED illuminates green.
b. On the front panel, verify that the Power LED illuminates green or
blue.
5Optionally, connect the management ports
It is not necessary, however, if you want to create local, physical access to
the management ports, you can do so as follows:
Silver Peak assigns the MGMT1 ethernet interface a default IP address of
169.254.0.1 and a subnet mask of /16 (the same as 255.255.0.0).
Both RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (MGMT0 and MGMT1) support
MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.
a. Identify the appliance’s MGMT0 and MGMT1 interfaces.
b. Using the blue straight-through cable, connect the appliance’s
MGMT0 interface to the network equipment interface.
c . Using the red crossover cable, connect the appliance’s MGMT1
interface to your PC.
You’ve now completed the physical installation and are ready to register
the product with Unity Orchestrator.
