Installing and starting EZSwitchSetup

1. Insert the EZSwitchSetup CD into the CD-ROM drive of your setup computer. The installer will autostart in about a minute.

2. Follow the EZSwitchSetup directions for installation. 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.

4. On the EZSwitchSetup Introduction screen, choose the option that matches your setup configuration:

•Ethernet connection. This option uses the Ethernet LAN connection you will use for running EZSwitchSetup Manager.

•Direct connection to the switch with a serial cable.

Most users will find it more convenient to use the Ethernet connection.

5. Click Next. The Connect Cables screen is displayed.

4. Click Next.

•If you chose to use the Ethernet connection, the Discover Switch screen is displayed. Enter the switch WWN, following

the instructions on the Discover Switch screen. After completing switch discovery, the Set Switch IP Address screen

is displayed.

•If you chose to use the serial port connection, the Set Switch IP Address screen is immediately displayed.

The Connect Cables screen shows you the connections you need to make.

1. Connect the power cord to the switch and to a power

source (1). The power and status LEDs display amber then

green. This can take from one to three minutes.

2. Connect the switch and the setup computer to the

same LAN, using Ethernet cables (3, 5) and an Ethernet

hub or switch (2). Be sure the Ethernet hub or switch is

connected to a power source (6).

3. If you want to use a serial connection for setup, connect

your setup computer COM port (7) to the serial port on the

switch, using the serial cable shipped with the switch (4).

The serial connection settings are as follows:

•Bits per second: 9600

•Databits: 8

•Parity: none

•Stop bits: 1

•Flow control: none

Setting the switch IP address

1. Enter the required information on the Set Switch IP Address screen.

2. If prompted to install Active X or a version of the Java runtime environment, do so. Reboot the setup computer, if required.

3. Click Next.

The Confirm IP Address screen is displayed.

4. Click Next to confirm the addresses.

A Continue Configuration screen is displayed.

5. Click Continue with EZManager.

1. Install the SFP transceivers in the ports on the switch to match the ports shown on the screen.

2. Make the physical connections to your host and storage devices. Match the physical connections shown

on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen.

3. Finish screen: Congratulations - you’ve successfully completed the setup! If you used the serial connection for setup,

you can remove the serial cable.

Additional configuration options, such as custom zoning, are available from EZManager. See the EZSwitchSetup

Administrator’s Guide for more information on custom zoning, and other switch configuration and management options.

Set the switch password

1. Click Next on the EZManager Welcome to Switch Configuration screen.

The Set Parameters screen is displayed.

2. Create a new administrator account password in the Set Parameters screen.

3. Enter a new name for the switch (optional step).

4. Adjust the date and time for your time zone (optional step).

5. Click Next.

Configure the zones and perform device selection

1. Select Typical Zoning on the Select Zoning screen and click Next.

Typical Zoning is the default zone configuration.

2. Enter the number and types of devices that you are connecting to the switch on the Device Selection screen.

EZSwitchSetup uses these values to automatically configure the ports on your switch.

Connect devices

The Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen displays a graphical representation of the switch with the device connections

based on the information that you entered when you configured zones and performed device selection. The screen shows the

connections as missing until you connect the devices that you specified.

a. Remove any protector plugs from the SFP transceivers you are

going to use.

b. Position and insert each SFP transceiver until it is firmly seated.

c. Close the latching bale.

a. Remove plastic protector caps from the cable ends (if there are any),

and position the cable connector so that it is oriented correctly.

b. Insert the cable connector into the SFP until it is firmly seated and

the latching mechanism clicks.

c. The Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen shows missing,

valid, and invalid connections as you cable the switch. Note that it

can take up to 15 seconds for the connection to display as a valid

connection. Verify that the connections are all green and click Next.
