SilverPeak EC-XS, EC-L-NM, EC-S, EC-XL-NM, EC-L Quick Start Manual

...

Before You Begin

 Check your packing slip to

verify that you have all the necessary items.

 If your EdgeConnect model

requires it, ensure that you have the associated rack mount instructions.

 Make sure you have a standard

Phillips screwdriver.

 Supply circuits should be

protected by a minimum 15A, maximum 20A circuit breaker.

 On the network equipment,

identify the 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports and/or the 1Gbps/10Gbps ber ports.

Rack Mount the Appliance

Based on your model, refer to the separate instructions for rack mount, desk mount, or wall mount.

Install the Appliance into the Network

a. Identify the relevant ports on the rear of the appliance.

b. Connect the supplied network cables from the appliance to the

identied network equipment ports.

c. DO NOT connect the power cables yet.

All copper RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the Silver Peak appliance support MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.

The ber interfaces support:

• LC connectors

• multi-mode 50µ ber / 62.5µ ber

Connect Power Cords

Depending on the model, your appliance may have a single power supply, or redundant power supplies.

a. Connect each power cable to the Silver Peak appliance and to your

local power source.

b. For redundancy, plug in all power cords, preferably to different

power sources.

Turn the Power On

Some appliances power up as soon as they’re plugged in, others don’t. If the power is off, turn it on. If you don’t plug in all the power cords, an audible alarm sounds until you do.

a. Verify that each power supply’s LED illuminates green.

b. On the front panel, verify that the Power LED illuminates green or

blue.

Optionally, connect the management ports

It is not necessary, however, if you want to create local, physical access to the management ports, you can do so as follows:

Silver Peak assigns the MGMT1 ethernet interface a default IP address of

169.254.0.1 and a subnet mask of /16 (the same as 255.255.0.0).

Both RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (MGMT0 and MGMT1) support MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.

a. Identify the appliance’s MGMT0 and MGMT1 interfaces.

b. Using the blue straight-through cable, connect the appliance’s

MGMT0 interface to the network equipment interface.

c. Using the red crossover cable, connect the appliance’s MGMT1

interface to your PC.

You’ve now completed the physical installation and are ready to register the product with Unity Orchestrator.
