Connecting your system to a power source
The N6200 series systems are shipped with redundant power supplies, referred to
as PSU1 and PSU2. Each power supply has its own AC power cord. You should
have separate circuit breakers for each power supply to ensure power redundancy.
For information on connecting your N6200 series system to a power source, see the
Installation and Setup Instructions that came with your system.
1 Controller module
2 I/O expansion module
3 PSUs
Connecting your system to an IP network
Each node of your system connects to an IP network. If you have an active/active
or high availability system, both nodes need to connect to the network. For
information that describes how to connect your system, refer to the
Installation and
Setup Instructions that came with your system.
The N6200 series system has two onboard Ethernet ports per controller node,
labeled e0a and e0b, as shown in Figure 7 on page 14. For the 2858-C10, 2858-C15,
2858-C20, 2858-C21, 2858-C22, and 2858-C25 up to two Network Interface Cards
(NICs) per node can be plugged into the PCI slots to provide additional Ethernet
ports. For the 2858-E11, 2858-E12, 2858-E15, 2858-E16, 2858-E21, 2858-E22, 2858-E25,
