Connecting to the Ethernet Port

You use the Ethernet (10BaseT) port to configure and manage the FS2620R. You use this
configuration option when you need to manage the FS2620R from a remote computer that
is connected to your LAN. For more information about the configuration and management
capabilities, see

Accessing the Router Administrator Using the Ethernet Port on page 3-3

.

To connect to the Ethernet port:

1

Be sure the FS2620R is turned off.

2

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the FS2620R.

3

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a network hub, router, or other
network connection.

Powering Up All Devices

After you have made all of the SCSI, Ethernet, and RS-232 connections, you are ready to
power up the router and all devices connected to it. For best results, use a two-stage setup
procedure. First, connect all SCSI devices and the RS-232 port to ensure proper operation.
Second, connect the FC host port and finish installation.

To power up SCSI devices:

1

Be sure the router is turned off.

2

Attach the power cable to the back of the router.

See

Figure 2-3 on page 2-4

.

3

Plug the power cable into a power source.

4

Connect the SCSI devices to the router using the appropriate SCSI cables.

5

Power up the connected SCSI storage devices and allow them to come ready.

6

Power up the router and allow it to come ready.

The ST status light stays a steady yellow. See

Understanding the LED Status Lights

on page 2-8

.

The router recognizes all SCSI devices connected to the six SCSI channels on the
FS2620R, and assigns each device a unique LUN address, which will be mapped as part of
a unique FC address. You can configure the router to assign itself a LUN for in-band
management, server-free backup, and other uses.

!

Caution: Do not remove the router’s cover. The router has no user-
serviceable parts. Removing the cover will void the warranty.
