to install JRE 1.6.0. Web Tools guides you through the steps to download the proper Java

Plug-in.

• If an outdated version is currently installed, uninstall it, reboot your computer, re-open the

browser, and enter the address of a switch running Fabric OS 5.2.0 or later to install JRE

1.6.0. Web Tools guides you through the steps to download the proper Java Plug-in.

Java plug-in configuration

If you are managing fabrics with more than 10 switches or 1000 ports, or if you are using the iSCSI

Gateway module extensively, you should increase the default heap size to 256 MB to avoid out-of-

memory errors.

If you are using a Mozilla family browser (Firefox, Netscape), you should set the default browser in

the Java control panel.

The following procedures instruct you in increasing the default heap size in the Java Control Panel

and in setting the default browser.
