Hardware Installation
10
Note
Figure 6 shows a sample guide assembly only; some chassis models use a
different type of guide assembly.
6.
Make sure the chassis guide handles are aligned with the front (i.e.,
connector side) of the module, as shown in Figure 6.
7.
If necessary, remove the blank faceplate/air-dam assembly from the
slot in which you will be installing the module.
8.
Align the guide rails on either side of the module with the grooves in
the chassis slot.
9.
Slide the module along the chassis guide in the chassis, but do not seat
it in the chassis backplane connector.
10. Plug in the newly installed module’s power cord.
11. Check to see that the Power and Master indicators illuminate before
seating the module in the chassis backplane.
12. Seat the module carefully and firmly in the chassis backplane.
The indicator on the Master unit should not illuminate when a module
is installed in a chassis as a Back-up or Slave unit. (See Figure 2 in
Chapter 1 of this manual.)
Note
When using the hot swapping method to insert or remove hub modules, you
must be sure that the power cord on each unit is plugged in. To enable hot
swapping, you must disconnect the module from the backplane before you
unplug the power cord.
13. Attach the module to the chassis, using the screws provided with the
chassis.
14. Connect your data cables to the hub and the network.
15. Check the Link indicators.
If one or more of the ports on the module are transferring data, the
Receive indicator will illuminate.
The AT-3600 Series module is now active in the chassis as a component of
a network concentrator.
For confirmation, you can obtain hub and port status information via
network management. To enable management from a PC monitor, the PC
must be connected to the Master unit through the Master’s RS232 port
(illustrated in Figure 7).
Note
You should always quit the Omega management program at the end of
each session, before reconfiguring the hubs in a chassis. Otherwise, you
might encounter such problems as not being able to exchange management
hubs in a chassis.
Note
If you need to reinstall or update the network management software in a
hub module, refer to the
CentreCOM 3600 Series and AT-S4 Firmware
Module Network Operations Guide.
