 To configure the switch:

1. Connect the host PC to the Console (RJ-45) port of the switch system using the supplied

cable. The Console ports for systems are shown below as examples.

The port labelled must be connected to a local host PC. This must be used the first time

the switch is connected. This must be done before any remote management is available.

Hook up the supplied harness cable (HAR00028) from the connector labelled to the DB9

connector of the local host PC.

2. Configure a serial terminal program (for example, HyperTerminal, minicom, or Tera Term)

on your host PC with the settings described in

Table 12.

3. Login (from a serial terminal program) as admin and use admin as password. This starts the

Mellanox configuration wizard.

4. Go through the Mellanox configuration wizard. Table 13 shows an example of a wizard ses-

sion.

Externally managed switches do not get configured. The CONSOLE, Ethernet, and

USB connectors are not found on externally managed switches. Instead there is an

I2C connector.

Make sure to connect to the Console RJ-45 port of the switch and not to the (Ether-

net) MGT port.

No remote IP connection is available at this stage.
