Connecting to the Network

6.Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which the module will be installed. Install the module in the chassis by aligning the module circuit card between the upper and lower metal rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking down the top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in Figure 3-1. Take care that the module slides in straight and properly engages the backplane connectors.

7.If the chassis in which the module is installed was powered down for the installation, turn it back on. Check to see that the CPU LED settles at solid green after a few minutes. If the LED does not turn solid green, see Chapter 4 for details.

3.3CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This section provides the procedures for connecting unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments from the network or other devices to the 5H102-48 (Section 3.3.1), or the 5H103-48 (Section 3.3.2). For details on how to get manuals, refer to the Related Documents section in About This Guide.

NOTE: If the module is being installed in a network using Port Trunking, there are rules concerning the network cable and port configurations that must be followed for Port Trunking to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the MATRIX E5 Series Modules Local Management User’s Guide for the configuration information.

3.3.1Connecting UTP Cables to the 5H102-48

The fixed front panel ports of the 5H102-48 are 10/100 RJ45 ports with internal crossovers. When connecting a workstation to these ports, use a straight-through cable. When connecting networking devices to these ports, such as a bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.

NOTE: All RJ45 front panel ports on the 5H102-48 support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. Category 3 cable may be used if the connection is going to be used only for 10 Mbps.

Connect a twisted pair segment to the 5H102-48 as follows:

1.Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.

2.Connect the twisted pair segment to the 5H102-48 by inserting the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port as shown in Figure 3-2.
