Installing the EPS
Installation
2-4
3
Attach the EPS to the network using a 10BASE-T cable, transceiver, or AUI cable.
The EPS must have one and only one valid Ethernet connection in order to boot
properly. Use switch 4 to set the correct Ethernet connection type. To boot the EPS
without attaching it to the network, attach a terminated MAU to the AUI port or con-
nect the 10BASE-T port to a disabled hub port.
4
Attach one end of the power cable to the EPS; plug the other end into an electrical
outlet. Power will come on automatically.
5
Allow 45 seconds for the EPS to fully boot.
❍
It will run through a set of power-up diagnostics for approximately 12 seconds.
The 4 LEDs will show varying patterns corresponding to the test being run.
❍
It will try to obtain configuration information via DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP.
This step could last approximately 15 seconds if no hosts answer the requests.
The OK LED will blink approximately 3 times per second, and the NETWORK
LED will blink occasionally as network requests are transmitted.
❍
It will determine if the code in its Flash is valid. If so, it will load the code and
begin normal execution. If not, the EPS will have to download software. See
Appendix D for more information.
6
If you have set DIP switch 2 to Verbose (the default), check the status page that
prints when the unit boots.
Note:
If the Test page or status page does not print, refer to Appendix B.
