McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
Installation Tasks
5. To interconnect three hubs:
NOTE: To connect two hubs, use step a and step c (top and middle
hub instructions only).
a. To connect the top and middle hubs in the stack, connect an
RJ-45 patch cable to port 24 of the top hub, then connect the
cable to port 12 of the middle hub.
b. To connect the bottom and middle hubs in the stack, connect a
second RJ-45 patch cable to port 24 of the middle hub, then
connect the cable to port 12 of the bottom hub.
c. Using a pencil or other pointed instrument, set the medium-
dependent interface (MDI) switch on the top and middle hubs
to MDI (in). Set the MDI switch on the bottom hub to MDIX
(out). The configuration is shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-10.
6. Connect an AC power cord to the receptacle at the rear of each
hub and to a rack power strip. Power for each hub switches on
when the hub (and equipment rack) are connected to facility AC
power.
NOTE: Ensure each hub is connected to a separate rack power strip.
7. Inspect the front panel of each hub. Ensure each green Power
LED illuminates.
Task 3: Unpack, Inspect, and Install the Switch
The following paragraphs provide instructions to unpack and inspect
the Sphereon 3032/3232 Switch, and install it in a desktop or
rack-mount configuration.
If the switch is delivered (with the Ethernet hub and management
server) as part of an FC-512 Fabricenter equipment cabinet, refer to
FC-512 Fabricenter Equipment Cabinet Installation and Service Manual
(620-000100) for unpacking and installation instructions, then go to
Task 4: Configure Network Information on page 2-14.
