Installing and Connecting Cables
Applying power
Connect each power module to an independent, 100-240V, 47-63Hz, 12V 6A power source.
Always shut down the system before removing power to ensure that all files and processes are properly closed. The
DSM appliance is started and shut down through the Vormetric Command Line Interface (CLI) with the
shutdown
command.
Connecting the serial console
The serial console is connected to the system through the serial port in the back of the DSM Appliance. This is a DB-9
RS-232 connector. (See
"Configuration tasks" on page 27
.)
The serial console port provides a direct connection to the DSM hardware appliance. By default, the serial console
interface is always accessible and it can always be relied on to communicate with the DSM. Communication with the
appliance is done through the DSM CLI after making a terminal connection. The serial console is used to configure the
appliance Ethernet interfaces during initial setup. After the network is configured, a CLI administrator can log on to the
appliance using an SSH connection, and complete the configuration process.
To log on using the CLI:
1. Configure your console connection using the following parameters:
o
Terminal Type: VT100
o
Baud Rate: 9600
o
Parity: None
o
Data bits: 8
o
Stop bits: 1
2. Connect the system serial console port and the DSM Appliance serial console port.
