2.1
Prepare for the Installation
☞
Before you begin the installation of the Terminal Server 720 processor module and
an I/O module, you must have completed the installation procedure for the Network
9000 Chassis. If this has not been completed, refer to the guide Installing the
Network 9000 Chassis.
Make sure that you have the following items:
Software at a load server or a Memory Card -- The Terminal Server 720 terminal
server can load software locally from a memory card, or remotely from a network load
server. If the unit will load software from a load server, you should make sure that you
have installed software at the load server(s) before you install the hardware. You
should follow the installation and configuration instructions contained in the Software
Installation Guide supplied with your software kit. Load image names will be listed in
the Software Kit Information supplied with your kit. (The Terminal Server 720 has a
hardware type of 76.)
Serial device cables -- Should be available for connection to the terminal server.

Refer to Chapter 3 for serial device cabling considerations.
Terminal -- You need a VT100 or ANSI-compatible terminal, or a PC with terminal
emulation software in order to configure the Terminal Server 720 terminal server.
Tools -- You need a small Phillips-head screwdriver to secure modules in a Network
9000 chassis slot.
