CSX7000 C
ABLING
This chapter describes how to make the cable connections to accommodate the CSX7000. It
addresses the installation of a single CSX7000 (a table top installation) as well as a cluster
installation.
For both types of installations, you will need a local console (monitor and keyboard) which
connects directly to the CSX7000. You may also have a remote console connection for network
administration, although this is not required. This remote console connection is more typical in
sites that support multiple CSX7000s, with a network administrator located in an office separate
from the equipment room.
You will also need to set the IES address for each CSX7000 in your cluster. Especially in a rack
installation, you should set these addresses prior to completing the cabling. For more information,
refer to the

Connect the other end of the DB-25 cable to the video/keyboard breakout box.
•
Connect the monitor and keyboard cables from the local console to the breakout box.
