Additional Equipment
To install the ARN, you may need some additional items that are not part of the
ARN accessory package. Before installing the ARN hardware, ensure that you
obtain all the cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.
Cables
Unless they were specifically ordered, the
cables necessary for your network
configuration are not part of the ARN accessory package. If you do not have the
proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the
Cable Guide.
Management Console
You can attach an optional computer terminal or PC as a
console
to the ARN to
monitor the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations.
Or you can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to
diagnostics and configuration.
Mounting Hardware
To rack-mount the ARN, you need a
Phillips screwdriver
and an electronic
enclosure rack
that meets the following specifications:
•
Heavy-duty steel construction
•
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing
•
Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use cage nuts (see
Figure 1-1
) to use with the cagenut screws.
Note:
To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot options for booting
and configuring the ARN (see Chapter 3, “Operating the ARN”), you must
have a local terminal connected the first time the ARN powers up.
