or terminal or through a Telnet connection. From the Ethernet port, you can access the CLI or Web
Management Interface directly or through a Telnet connection to the PC or terminal.
Before performing this task, you need the following items:
• A PC running a terminal emulation application or a terminal.
• To connect the PC or terminal to the console port (RJ45 serial port) of the device, you need an
RJ45 to DB-9 adaptor. For the pinout information, refer to
Console (serial RJ45) management port
pinouts on page 159.
• To connect the PC or terminal to a Gigabit Ethernet copper port, you need a category 5 UTP
crossover cable, which you must supply. For information about the port pin assignments, refer to
10/100 and gigabit port pinouts on page 160.
To attach a PC or terminal to the Console port or Gigabit Ethernet copper port, complete the following
tasks.
1. Connect a PC or terminal to the Console port or a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port using the appropriate
cable.
2. Open the terminal emulation program, and set the session parameters as follows:
• Baud: 9600 bps
• Parity: None
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
Attaching a switch to an Ethernet port
The 10/100/1000 Ethernet copper ports on the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management module and the
combination Gigabit Ethernet copper and fiber ports on the FSX management module allow you to
attach a networking switch. A management station in your existing management network can then
access the Brocade switch using the Brocade Network Advisor.
For more information, see the "Connecting network devices" task.
Powering on the system
After you complete the hardware installation, you can power on the system. Verify that all modules and
power supplies are fully and properly installed and no module slots are uncovered.
Note the following precautions before powering on the system.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
