Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
If your PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, first attach a 9-pin to
25-pin straight-through adapter at one end of the console cable.
Figure 2-27. Connecting the Cable for a Direct Console Connection
3. Power on the management console (terminal or PC). If you are using a
PC, start the PC terminal program.
4. For a direct console connection through the Console port:
a. Press
[Enter] two or three times to display the copyright page and the
message “Press any key to continue”.
b. Press any key to display the switch console command (CLI) prompt;
for example: ProCurve Switch 6600-24G#
c. Continue the console session to configure the switch by following the
procedure in “Minimal Configuration Through the Out-of-Band
Console Connection” on page 3-2.
Important You must use the out-of-band console connection to minimally configure the
switch with an IP address and subnet mask before you can use an in-band or
out-of-band networked connection to manage the switch. Continue with
“Recommended Minimal Configuration” on page 3-1 for more information.
