Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
— Firmware Build Date-#—Identifies the firmware build date and build number.
— Hardware Version—Identifies the version number of the GbE Interconnect Switch
hardware build.
— Configuration Save Time—Identifies the date and time the current settings were
saved to the configuration file.
— System UpTime—Identifies the time of the GbE Interconnect Switch bootup, if the
current time has been set on the interconnect switch. If the current time has never
been set up on the interconnect switch, this field identifies the time since the switch
module was booted up.
— Time—Provides the current real time set on the GbE Interconnect Switch.
— Time Source—Identifies the method in which the GbE Interconnect Switch gets the
current time information: System Clock, Primary SNTP Server, or Secondary SNTP
Server.
— Rack #/Name—Identifies the server rack unique identifier (UID) and name of the
rack where the GbE Interconnect Switch is located.
— Enclosure#/Name—Identifies the serial number and name of the server enclosure
where the GbE Interconnect Switch is located.
IMPORTANT: If the GbE Interconnect Switch is booted without an Interconnect Module inserted, the
Switch Information screen displays DualTSX Interconnect Module (fiber) information.
To complete the GbE Interconnect Switch information:
1. Type the name of the system in the System Name field.
2. Type the location of the system in the System Location field.
3. Type the name and telephone number of the System Administrator in the System
Contact field. HP recommends entering the name of the person who is responsible for
the maintenance of the network system on which the GbE Interconnect Switch is located.
4. Highlight APPLY.
5. Press the Enter key to make the change effective.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier
