Follow this procedure to configure network access to the Quadrics switch controller card:
NOTE: For more information about configuring the Quadrics switch controller card, see the HP Cluster
Platform Quadrics QsNet
II
Interconnect reference guide, which is available on the hardware documentation
CD. Your cluster platform customer letter provides instructions for loading the documentation CD and
accessing the documentation through the online guide.
1. Ensure that an Ethernet cable from the monitoring line card's primary Ethernet port is connected to
an Ethernet port on the Root Administration Switch. This connection is described in the HP XC
Hardware Preparation Guide.
2. Connect to the switch controller using a VGA monitor and keyboard or a connection to the serial port
using a null modem cable and a terminal or terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.
Connecting to the switch controller displays the Quadrics Switch Control main menu, which is
similar to the following:
