Getting Started
2.4
Insert the Memory Card (if Supplied)
If the unit is supplied with a Memory card, insert the card into the card slot on the front panel.
Xyplex recommends that you wear a grounded wrist strap when you insert the
card. If none is available, ground yourself by placing one hand on the
MAXserver 1600 (or another grounded object), before you insert the Memory
card, to prevent static from being discharged into the MAXserver.
☞
Markings on the Memory card indicate which end you insert into the MAXserver 1600. (As another
indication, the end you insert has two rows of small square holes.)
2.5
Connect the Ethernet Interface
Connect the Ethernet transceiver cable or ThinWire network cable to the appropriate connector on the rear
of the MAXserver 1600 (see Figure 2-2). When powered up, the MAXserver 1600 selects the interface on
which it detects network activity
