Installing peripherals
5.1.7 Adding peripherals later
If you want to add peripherals at a later date, you must always proceed in the
following order.
Ê
Shut down the system.
Ê Press the [ON/OFF] button to switch the system unit off.
Under Reliant UNIX or SINIX V5.42, if you shut down the system with the
shutdown
command, the system switches itself off automatically.
Ê
Unplug the system unit’s power cord.
Ê Make the connections between the system unit and the new peripheral.
Ê Plug in the power cords of the system unit and the peripheral.
Ê
Restart the system.
5.1.8 Attaching the system unit to a UPS
Read the operating instructions for the uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) before connecting it to the system unit.
The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is connected upstream of the system and
thus provides a steady supply of electricity to the system regardless of the status of
the line power. It largely protects the computer against loss of power (blackouts),
power dips and power surges.
Ê First plug the 9-pin connector on the connecting cable into the PORT1/COM2
port on the system unit backplane.
Ê Then plug the system unit power connector into the socket on the UPS.
To find out how to install the software and configure it for UPS operation, refer to the
manual “Reliant UNIX Installation and Operation – RM200, RM300, RM400” or to
the corresponding manual for SINIX V5.42.
The default value, however, is Port_1 (COM2).
