FibreBridge™ 7500

Getting Started Guide

Thank you for purchasing an ATTO FibreBridge. This guide gives you the basics for installing
and configuring your FibreBridge. For more information, refer to the FibreBridge Installation
and Operation Manual located at attotech.com/downloads

Examine the contents of your FibreBridge
packing box. If any of the items listed below
are missing, contact your ATTO
representative.

• The FibreBridge. Note the serial number of
your FibreBridge unit:
________________________

• Power cords

• “L” brackets for mounting in a 19” rack

• Ethernet cable

• RS 232 cable

1 Install the FibreBridge

1.1 Place the FibreBridge on a stable flat

surface, install it into a standard rack

or into your device.
If installing the FibreBridge 7500
into a rack, see Exhibit 1 and follow

these instructions:

a. Attach “L” brackets so that the

front side with the LEDs face front
and the connector side is at the
back.

b. Install the FibreBridge horizontally

within the rack so it does not reduce
the air flow within the rack.

1.2 Connect and power up Fibre Channel
devices from your SAN to the
FibreBridge using SFPs and multimode
fiber optic cables for the Fibre Channel
ports. Keep cable lengths as short as
possible to ensure the highest signal
quality and performance. Refer to
Cabling in the FibreBridge Installation
and Operation Manual.

1.3 Connect and power up SAS/SATA target
devices. Refer to Cabling in the
FibreBridge Installation and Operation
Manual.

1.4 Connect the Ethernet port to your
network.

1.5 Connect power:

a. Connect the AC power cords from the

FibreBridge to the proper AC source
outlets.

Power is automatically supplied to the 7500 when plugged
into an AC outlet.

Note

The power source must be connected to a protective
earth ground and comply with local electrical codes.
Improper grounding may result in an electrical shock
or damage to the unit.

If you are using a rack:
a. Properly ground the FibreBridge to the

rack equipment. The earth ground
connection must be maintained.

b. The power requirements plus the power

draw of the other equipment in the rack
must not overload the supply circuit and/
or wiring of the rack.

1.6 Wait up to two minutes for the FibreBridge
Ready LED to light indicating the
FibreBridge has completed its power-on
self test sequence.

2 Discover the IP address

Note

The FibreBridge is initially configured with DHCP
enabled. It is best if you have access to a DHCP server.

2.1 Work from the computer attached to the
FibreBridge Ethernet port on the same
domain.

Note

To find the IP address you need the ATTO QuickNAV

TM

tool.

.

Go to attotech.com/downloads, sign in or register for an
account, then select FibreBridge 7500 on the Downloads page
to download QuickNAV.

2.2 Install QuickNAV and launch the program

to identify the FibreBridge.

2.3 Locate the FibreBridge with the serial

number recorded earlier.

2.4 Highlight the serial number.

2.5 Click Next.

If a DHCP server is available on your network,
an address is assigned automatically by the
server. Note the assigned address:
____________________________________

If you do not have a DHCP server, get an IP

address and subnet mask from your network
administrator, type it into the area provided,
and click on Next.
