Installing the Switch in the Server Chassis
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 2-3.
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.
