Connecting the Cables
Connecting Management Cables
To connect management cables
Choose one of the following:
•
Connect a monitor to the VGA port on the appliance’s back panel
and a keyboard to a USB port.
•
Or connect the supplied null-modem cable to the serial port on
the appliance’s front panel and to a computer that you will use for
a terminal connection.
Connecting the Appliance to the Power Supply
To connect the appliance to the power supply
1.
Connect the power cables to the AC or DC power connectors on
the back of the appliance.
•
We recommend connecting both power connectors to a power
source to guarantee that the appliance can function even if one
of the power connectors fails.
2.
Plug the power cords into grounded, high-quality power strips that
offer protection from electrical noise and power surges.
•
We highly recommend using an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) to ensure continuous operation and minimize the risk of
damage to the appliance in case of sudden loss of power.
•
For a truly redundant power supply, connect each power
connector on the appliance to a different UPS, so that the failure
of one UPS will not cut off the power to both power supplies.
See
(page 5) for more information on the AC and DC
power supplies.
