Introducing the 1600, 3600, and 3900 Platforms

Peripheral hardware that you provide
For each 1600/3600/3900 platform, you may need to provide additional
peripheral hardware.
◆
You need standard input/output hardware if you plan to use direct
administrative access to the platform. This requires a serial terminal and
a null modem cable.
◆
You must have an administrative workstation on the same IP network as
the platform if you want to use the default platform configuration.
◆
You need network hubs, switches, or concentrators to connect to the
platform network interfaces. The devices you select must be compatible
with the network interface cards installed in the platform. The devices
can support 10/100 Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet:
• Ethernet requires either a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps hub or switch.
• Gigabit Ethernet requires a compatible Gigabit Ethernet switch.
◆
You can use a USB drive compatible with the system for installing
upgrades and for system recovery. You can perform an upgrade or
system recovery with almost any non-CDRW USB drive. Even though
most USB CD-ROM and compact flash drives should work, we cannot
guarantee compatibility with all makes and models.
If you plan on doing remote administration from your own PC workstation
as most users do, we recommend that you have your workstation already in
place on the same subnet to which the management interface is connected.
