Power Up and Connect Cables to the Switch
The next step is to power up and connect cables to the switch, as directed by the EZSwitchSetup
wizard. Figure 5 on page 8 shows an example of cabling a Brocade switch. The ethernet and serial
port locations may vary between switch models. Refer to your hardware documentation for exact
locations.
To power up and cable the switch
1. Connect the power cord to the switch and then plug in to a power source.
The switch power and status LEDs display amber and then change to green, which usually
takes from one to three minutes. See your switch hardware manual for the location of the
LEDs.
2. Connect an ethernet cable from the switch to the LAN through an ethernet hub.
