Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 for Dell and Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3032 for Dell Getting Started Guide
Installing the Switch in the Server Chassis
– You can install the switch into any of the module slots. If you install a
switch in the B or C module slot, the Ethernet mezzanine card must be
installed in the blade server.
– The dust covers should always remain in place unless a module is
installed in the slot.
Caution To prevent electrostatic-discharge (ESD) damage when you install the switch,
follow your normal board and component handling procedures.
Note When you install a switch, you do not need to power down the server chassis.
The initial configuration assumes that the switch was never configured, that it is
in the same state as when it was received, and that it is not configured with a
default username and password.
Follow these steps to install the switch into the server chassis:
Step 1 Obtain and make note of this information from your network administrator before
you begin the switch installation:
• Switch IP address
• Subnet mask (IP netmask)
• Default gateway (router)
• Enable secret password (encrypted)
• Enable password (not encrypted)
• Telnet password
• SNMP community strings (optional)
Step 2 Select a chassis I/O module bay in which to install the switch. Follow the
prerequisites listed in the
“Dell Modular Server Chassis Architecture” section on
page 6 .
Step 3 Remove the IOM blank from the selected bay, and store it for future use.
Step 4 If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains
the switch to an unpainted metal part of the server chassis for at least 2 seconds.
Step 5 Remove the switch from its static-protective package.
