4)         Set serial port parameters. Set the bits per second to 9600, data bits to 8, parity to none, stop bits to 1, and flow control to none.

Figure 4-4 Set serial port parameters

5)         Click OK after setting the serial port parameters to enter the HypterTerminal window, as shown in Figure 4-5.

4.2  Powering On the Switch

4.2.1  Checklist for Switch Power-On

Before powering on the switch, make sure that:

l           The interface cables, power cables and the grounding cable are correctly connected.

l           The power outlet voltage is the same as the one indicated on the switch label.

l           The console cable is correctly connected, the console terminal or PC is powered on, and the terminal parameters are properly configured.

 

 

4.2.2  Powering on the Switch

To power on the switch, follow the procedure below:

l           Turn on the power switch of the power source providing power to the switch.

l           Turn on the power switch of the PWR on the switch.

4.2.3  Verifying after Power-on (Recommended)

To ensure the configuration works that you will make on the switch, you are recommended to check the switch after powering it on to make sure that:

l           The cooling system is working. In this case, you can hear the noise caused by fan rotation and feel that there is air exhausted out.

l           All the system LEDs on the SRPUs function normally.

4.2.4  Boot Interface

The S9505 switch is used as an example in this section.

The following is the information that will be output at the console terminal when you power on the switch.
