Cabling the Switch
After installing the switch hardware and planning the configuration, cable the switch to your
network.
IMPORTANT: If you are replacing an existing CGESM, or upgrading from a GbE2 Interconnect Switch,
a GbE Interconnect Switch, an RJ-45 Patch Panel 2, or an RJ-45 Patch Panel, and you have strict
security requirements:
• Do not cable the switch until after configuration.
Or
• Connect the switch to the optional Diagnostic Station. The Diagnostic Station enables you to power
up, configure, and diagnose a ProLiant p-Class server blade or a switch outside of the rack
environment.
To connect the switch to the network:
1. Connect your network cables to the 10/100/1000BASE-T copper or 1000BASE-SX fiber
uplink SFP modules (labeled below as Port 19, 20, 21, and 22).
Figure 2-4: Connecting to the SFP Modules
NOTE: When connecting to 10/100/1000BASE-T SFP modules, be sure to use a twisted four-pair,
Category 5 cable.
2. Gather your network cables for the right side of the rack.
