Connect to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
1.
Turn off the power to the management device.
2.
Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the appropriate
ETHERNET
port on
the Routing Engine.
3.
Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
Connect a Management Console
1.
Turn off the power to the management device.
2.
Plug the RJ-45 end of the serial cable into the appropriate
CONSOLE
or
AUX
port
on the Routing Engine.
3.
Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
Connect the IOC Cables
1.
Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the IOC. For cable specifications,
see the
IBM Ethernet Appliance J58S Hardware Guide
.
2.
If the IOC cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the
plug.
WARNING:
Class 1 laser product.
WARNING:
Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION:
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
3.
Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the IOC faceplate.
4.
Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging
or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own
weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps
to maintain its shape.
