Each device is installed by using the customer supplied rack mounting screws. Two
screws on each side will secure a DHCPatriot device to the rack (see figure 3.3). If it is
installed in a four post rack, the back two posts will not be used.
Important! Take great care when installing the devices in the rack. Two people should
be involved in the installation. One person should hold the device in the rack, while the
other one inserts the screws. Be sure each device is secure in the rack. Damage not
covered by the maintenance contract may occur if a device is dropped, or falls out of the
rack.
Attaching Cables
The power cables supplied with the
DHCPatriot system may be used in many
locations. A standard PC power cable
from your region may be required. Plug a
power cable from the standard PC 3
prong outlet on each device. Plug the
other end of the power cable into an AC
power outlet with the proper
specifications. The red crossover cable
(supplied) is used to connect the devices
to each other. Connect the cable to the
ports on each unit as shown in figure 3.4.
The two DB9 to RJ45 serial console
adapters (supplied) are connected to the
serial port of each device as shown in
figure 3.4. Install the adapters even if you
do not intend to use the serial console
capabilities.
The LAN port is used to connect the
DHCPatriot system to the Ethernet
switch. The customer supplied Ethernet
cable should be used for this connection.
A console cable may optionally be
connected from the female RJ45 end of
each DB9 to RJ45 adapter that are
installed in the serial port on the back of
each device to the console server.
