Before you begin
Important: Do not use the initialization tool on
a node if any other node in the system is already active. For example, a node status LED is solid on
any node of the system.
You require the following items:
- A supported browser that is installed on the personal computer
- An Ethernet cable to connect the personal computer to the technician port
Attention: Do not connect the technician port to a switch. If a switch is detected,
the technician port connection might shut down, causing a 746 node error.
Procedure
To initialize the system, complete the following steps.
-
Configure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS settings.
If you do not have DHCP, you must manually configure the personal computer. Specify the static
IPv4 address 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway
192.168.0.1, and DNS 192.168.0.1.
-
Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the personal computer that is configured in step
1 and the technician
port.
After the connection is made, the system will automatically configure the IP and DNS
settings for the personal computer if DHCP is available. If it is not available, the system uses the
values that you provided in step
1.
-
After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a supported browser and
browse to address
http://install. (If you do not have DCHP, open a supported
browser and go to the following static IP address 192.168.0.1.)
The browser is automatically directed to the initialization tool.
-
Follow the instructions that are presented by the initialization
tool to configure the system with a name and management IP
address.
-
If you experience a problem during the process due to a change in system states, wait 5 - 10
seconds. Then, either reopen the SSH connection or reload the service assistant.
-
After you complete the initialization process, disconnect the cable between the personal
computer and the technician port.
