14 Installing and Upgrading the CSC-C2FCIT FDDI Card and Appliques
Installing Cards and Appliques
Setup Command Facility
Whenever you install new hardware components, the system automatically invokes the setup
command facility the first time the system is started. You can use setup to configure the new
interfaces, or exit from the setup command facility and configuring the new interfaces with the
configure EXEC command.
Before installing new interfaces, be prepared with the information you will need such as the
protocols you plan to route on each interface, IP addresses if you will configure the interfaces for IP,
and which interfaces, if any, will use bridging.
For detailed descriptions of setup and initial configuration procedures, refer to the Router Products
Getting Started Guide and
Router Products Command Reference
publications. The Router Products
Getting Started Guide and the Router Products Configuration and Reference publications provide
detailed descriptions and sample sessions of both the setup command and the configure command.
Installing Cards and Appliques
Following are the procedures described in this section:
•
“Chassis Access Procedure” on page 14
•
“Installing the C2FCIT Card” on page 15
•
“Installing the FDDI Applique” on page 16
•
“Connecting Internal and External Cables” on page 20
Before proceeding, ensure that your system and equipment meet the requirements listed in the
section “Installation Prerequisites” on page 7.
Chassis Access Procedure
Following is the procedure for accessing the chassis interior.
Warning
Before accessing the chassis interior, turn off power to the chassis and unplug the power
cord because hazardous voltages may exist in or near the power supply. Use extreme caution when
working near the power supply.
Step 1
If you will need to handle any electronic components (cards, and so forth), attach
appropriate ESD protection and attach the AC power cord but, to prevent a shock hazard,
make certain the chassis power is OFF.
Step 2
To access cards in the card cage, loosen the two thumbscrews and remove the front panel
from the chassis. (See Figure 9.)
Note
The front panel is secured with two thumbscrews, which are tightened with 12 in/lb of torque
for shipping. If you are removing the front panel for the first time, use the medium flat-blade
screwdriver to turn the thumbscrews counterclockwise to loosen them. When you replace the panel,
turn the thumbscrews clockwise until they are finger-tight.
