d. About 10 seconds later, the switch is operational: the Input Power LED
remains illuminated, the Heartbeat LED flashes steadily, and the two
remaining LEDs are extinguished. If the Heartbeat LED blinks steadily
about once per second, the POST was successful and you can
continue with the installation process. Any other blink pattern indicates
that an error has occurred. Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns” on
page 5-1 for more information about the error blink pattern.
4. Confirm that the Output Power LEDs on both power supplies are illuminated.
If not, check the power cords and the AC voltage source. Refer to ”Output
Power LED Is Extinguished” on page 5-11 for more information about
troubleshooting procedures.

Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch
Connect the management workstation to the switch in one of three ways:
■ Indirect Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch
RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. This requires
a 10/100 Base-T straight cable as shown in Figure 4-3. With this method,
you can manage the switch with SANbox Manager or the CLI.
■ Direct Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch
RJ-45 Ethernet connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T cross-over cable
as shown in Figure 4-3. With this method, you can manage the switch with
the SANbox Manager application or the CLI.
■ Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch RS-
232 connector. This requires a null modem F/F DB9 cable as shown in
Figure 4-3. With this method, you can manage the switch with the CLI.
