LAN35MH08HR & LAN35ME08HR User’s Manual
4.5
Steps for Installing
1.
Always work at an ESD protected workstation, and wear a grounded wrist-strap.
2.
Turn off power to the IDAN system.
3.
Remove the module from its anti-static bag.
4.
Check that pins of the bus connector are properly positioned.
5.
Check the stacking order; make sure all of the busses used by the peripheral cards are connected to the cpuModule.
6.
If multiple StackNET boards are to be installed in the system, review the guidelines on StackNET connector in the previous sections.
a.
The Host Ethernet switch (LAN35MH08HR) should be the lowest StackNET board. Regular boards may be stacked
beneath it.
b.
The Expansion modules (LAN35ME08HR or similar) should be stacked above the Host. Due to mechanical interference
concerns with the downward StackNET connector, one should avoid stacking regular boards under a StackNET
expansion module.
7.
Hold the module by its edges and orient it so the bus connector pins line up with the matching connector on the stack.
8.
Gently and evenly press the module onto the IDAN system.
9.
If any boards are to be stacked above this module, install them.
10.
Finish assembling the IDAN stack by installing screws of an appropriate length.
11.
Attach any necessary cables to the IDAN system.
12.
Re-connect the power cord and apply power to the stack.
13.
Boot the system and verify that all of the hardware is working properly.
14.
If this is a LAN35MH08HR paired with a cpuModule:
a.
Verify the onboard Intel I210 is detected by the cpuModule.
b.
Load the I210 drivers for your Operating System and configure the network interface (see section 4.3 for details).
15.
Connect to the USB Serial Console and configure VSC7428.
a.
Refer to section 4.5 for details on the serial port connection.
b.
Configure the CEServices software via the Command Line Interface (see the software configuration information later in
this document for details).
