Setting Up and Connecting

Note: You must install the software before connecting the
analyzer to the host machine for the first time.
To set up the analyzer:
1. Connect the analyzer to a 100V–240V, 50Hz–60Hz,

power outlet and turn on the Power switch.
At power on, the analyzer will go through initialization
as shown on the LCD display.

2. Connect the USB cable between the SierraFC M164

USB port and a USB port on the Host PC. The host PC
operating system detects the analyzer and driver files.
(See section 9 for how to connect via Ethernet.)

Connect from Hard Drives using SFP and a cable
suitable for your setup.
Connect from HBAs using SFP and a cable suitable for
your setup.
For an illustration of the cabling, see the Introduction
chapter of the SierraFC M164 User Manual.

Starting the Application

To launch the software, double-click the FC icon in the Program Manager Window. After you start
the software, click Configuration and select All Connected Devices (see screen capture on the
right) to display the Select Device dialog. Click Refresh Device List (see screen captures below)
to display all the devices on the network. Select a device and click Connect.

Operating in Simulation Mode
The system operates in Simulation Mode by default, if the software detects no hardware. However, you can operate in
Simulation Mode directly, without installing the Analyzer hardware.
