Chapter 6 Connecting the Cables 49
Before following the instructions in this section, make sure you have installed the
Netra t1 system into a rack or cabinet (see Chapter 5).
1. Connect the power cord or cords (see also
FIGURE 6-3
and
FIGURE 6-4
in the next
section, “Connecting the Power Cord(s)” on page 50).
2. Connect the system to at least one Ethernet hub. You can connect to a maximum of
two.
3. Connect at least one serial device. For more information, see “Setting up Serial
Connections” on page 52.
If you want to use the Netra t1’s remote monitoring and management facilities,
make sure you use the port labeled Serial A/LOM. For more information about
remote monitoring and management, see Chapter 9.
4. If you intend to configure the Netra t1 system directly from a dumb terminal or a
Sun workstation, insert the serial cable into the DB25 adapter supplied (see
FIGURE 6-1
and
FIGURE 6-2
).
When you have done this, plug the adapter into the DB25 serial connector on the
terminal or Sun workstation.
5. If you need to connect the Netra t1 system to an external SCSI device, you will
need to use the SCSI cable supplied with that device.
The Netra t1’s external SCSI bus is compatible with narrow (8-bit) or wide (16-bit)
single-ended SCSI devices.
Note – If you are connecting an external SCSI device, make sure that its SCSI ID is
not 0 or 1. The Netra t1’s hard disk drives use these SCSI IDs.
6. Go to Chapter 7 which tells you how to power the system up.
7. For information about the patches you need to apply, see Chapter 8.
