Freeway 1100/1150 Hardware Installation Guide
The Freeway 1150 has seven PCI slots used by the ICP2432 boards, two CPU slots, and
five ISA slots. If you ordered Fast Ethernet, the board is installed in a PCI slot. If you
ordered standard Ethernet, the board is installed in an ISA slot. Figure 2–4 on page 38
shows an example Freeway 1150 configuration with PCI boards. In this example, ICP 0,
ICP 1, and ICP 2 are two-port boards and ICP 3 and ICP 4 are four-port or eight-port
boards. Slot 6 can contain another ICP board or a secondary Fast Ethernet board.
The order of the ICP boards in the Freeway is arbitrary. The order shown in Figure 2–2 ,
Figure 2–3 , and Figure 2–4 matches the standard configuration shown in the boot con-
figuration file, which is also the standard order of the boards as installed by Simpact.
For ISA boards, ICP 0 is closest to the standard Ethernet board, if used, or to the right
side of the box. Two-port ICP2424s reside in a single ISA slot. Four-port ICP2424s
reside in a single ISA slot, but require two I/O panels for the four WAN port connectors.
For PCI boards, the boards are always numbered from right to left when looking at the
back of the Freeway. ICP 0 is closest to the CPU board. The two-port board has two sep-
arate 26-pin high-density connectors; port 0 is the top connector and port 1 is the bot-
tom connector. Both the four-port and the eight-port boards have the same 100-pin
high-density connector. The four-port board uses a “quadrapus” (one-to-four) cable to
attach four DB25 or DB37 connectors to the 100-pin connector. The eight-port board
uses an “octopus” (one-to-eight) cable to attach eight DB25 connectors to the 100-pin
connector. Port numbers are identified on the terminating ends of the quadrapus or
octopus cable.
Step 9:
Plug the power cord into the power input socket on the Freeway’s back panel and into
an AC electrical outlet near your Freeway.
Step 10:
Perform the software installation procedures on your boot server as described in the
Freeway User’s Guide .
