6. Push the insertion arm gently toward the chassis until it is completely closed and the SilkWorm 4016 is firmly seated in the I/O bay. Warning Do not force the arm closed. Doing so could cause damage. If the switch does not close easily, gently remove the SilkWorm 4016 and reinsert it.

To configure the SilkWorm 4016: 1. Create a serial connection to the managment feature of the blade server chassis. Refer to the blade server documentation for details about setting up the terminal emulator to connect and log in. 2. After POST is complete and the switch is in a healthy state, log in to the switch as admin: 3. a. At the command prompt, type connect switch-x where x is the bay that the Silkworm 4016 is occupying. b. Log in to the Silkworm 4016 switch as admin and enter the password.
7. Install the SFP transceivers as required. a. Remove the dust plugs from the ports to be used as well as any end caps from. b. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, refer to the transceiver manufacturer's documentation. c. 8. Repeat steps a and b for the remaining ports, as required. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
2. Enter the IP address of the switch in the address field. Configuring the Fibre Channel Ports The blade server chassis managment feature provides the control point for the chassis. Each blade server chassis has a serial connection to each switch chassis I/O bay. These connections are used for configuring and monitoring the installed switches. For details about configuring the Fibre Channel ports on the SilkWorm 4016, refer to the blade server manufacturer’s documentation.
