Before you power on the Oracle PCA for the first time, ensure that you have connected the Fabric Interconnects according to the network installation requirements in Section 3.1, “Network Connection and IP Address Requirements”.

In addition, you need to connect a workstation with a monitor to the available Ethernet port 19 in one of the Oracle Switch ES1-24 switches and start a web session in order to initially administer your Oracle PCA using the pre-defined IP address (192.168.4.216). For information, see Section 5.3.5, “Connect Oracle Private Cloud Appliance to the Network”.
