Installation
Hardware Installation
To install Equalizer, proceed with the following:
1. Carefully remove the rack-mount enclosure and cables from the shipping container.
Save the original packaging in case you need to ship the appliance for any reason, such as
sending it in for warranty service. The chassis does not contain any parts that you can ser-
vice. If you open the chassis or attempt to make repairs, you may void your warranty.
2. Place the appliance in its intended position in an EIA equipment rack or on a flat surface.
3. Connect a serial terminal or a workstation running terminal emulator software to the serial
port on the front panel of appliance. The serial cable is supplied with the unit.
4. Connect the appliance to the network with a quality category 5 (Cat 5E) network cable:
To use Equalizer as an intermediary between an external and internal network, connect it to the
external network using one of the RJ-45 ports labeled 1 or 2 on the front panel. Connect the
appliance to the internal network using one or more of the ports numbered 3 and above.
For a single-network (one subnet) topology, connect Equalizer to the network and the servers
using one of the numbered RJ-45 ports numbered 3 and above on the front panel.
5. Connect the appliance to an appropriate power source using the supplied power cord, which
plugs into the 3-pin connector on the rear of the enclosure. This system uses an auto-sens-
ing power supply that can operate at 50Hz or 60Hz, 110-240 VAC input.
6. Turn on the power using the switch on the rear panel. After the appliance boots up the fol-
lowing link lights should be visible. Refer to
"Interfaces"
on page 286 or Interface Commands
for additional information on the interface lights and settings.
