2 INSTALLATION

This chapter describes how to install your CS/2500 series server, including cabling the server to other devices on your network.

CAUTION: To eliminate cable noise emission in excess of FCC Part 15 Subpart J, VDE 0871, or CISPR22 (EN55022) for Class A devices, all cables should be triple-shielded (Inmac® 536888 or equivalent) and have connectors with metallic backshells. Cable shields should be connected to backshells.

Preparation

Do the following before beginning the installation:

1Remove the server from its shipping carton.

2Verify that you have received all items on the packing list.

3Inspect the server for shipping damage.

If you find any damage, contact the shipping company to file a report. If you must return the server to your network supplier or 3Com, ship it in its original shipping carton. If the original carton was damaged in shipment, repack the server in a carton that provides equivalent protection.

4Verify that the power specifications listed on the product identification label on the back panel correspond to the available power source.

If the available power source is not within the acceptable range, contact 3Com or your network supplier.

5Write down the Ethernet address, part number, and serial number listed on the product identification label.
