Chapter 2: Installing and Configuring Equalizer Hardware
40 Equalizer Installation and Administration Guide
Before You Turn Equalizer On for the First Time
The first step in setting up Equalizer is to connect it to the local area network and a power source. Once you have
installed Equalizer, you need to configure it as described in Chapter 3, “Configuring Equalizer Hardware”.
Please review the warnings located in Appendix I , Additional Requirements and Specifications , on page 317 for
precautions you must take before installing your Equalizer hardware.
Stepping Through the Hardware Installation
To install Equalizer, follow these steps:
1. Carefully remove the Equalizer rack-mount enclosure and cables from the shipping container.
Save the original packaging in case you need to ship the Equalizer for any reason, such as sending it in for
warranty service. The Equalizer chassis does not contain any parts that you can service. If you open the chassis
or attempt to make repairs, you may void your warranty. See Appendix H ,
License and Warranty , on page 315.
2. Place the Equalizer in its intended position in an EIA equipment rack or on a flat surface. Please see Appendix I
, Additional Requirements and Specifications , on page 317, for a list of environmental limits and power
requirements for your Equalizer.
3. Connect a console to Equalizer. Do one of the following:
a. Connect a serial terminal or a workstation running terminal emulator software to the serial port on the front
panel of the Equalizer (see Figure 9 on page 32). Use the serial cable supplied with Equalizer.
b. Some Equalizer models also have a USB keyboard connector and VGA display adapter at the back of the
unit. You can connect a USB keyboard and VGA display to these ports as a console, instead of the serial
port. Use the cables supplied with the keyboard and display that you choose.
4. Connect Equalizer to the network with a quality category 5 network cable:
a. To use Equalizer as an intermediary between an external and internal network, connect Equalizer to the
external network using one of the RJ-45 ports labelled 1 or 2 on the front panel. Connect Equalizer to the
internal network using one or more of the ports numbered 3 and above.
b. For a single-network (one subnet) topology, connect Equalizer to the network and the servers using one of
the numbered RJ-45 ports numbered 3 and above on the front panel of the Equalizer.
5. Connect Equalizer to an appropriate power source using the supplied power cord, which plugs into the 3-pin
connector on the rear of the Equalizer enclosure. This system uses an auto-sensing power supply that can
operate at 50Hz or 60Hz, 110-240 VAC input.
6. Turn on the power using the switch on the rear panel.
