OVERVIEW

This chapter is an overview of how to get started with your new NETBuilder II system. This chapter provides you with two checklists: one describes the basic steps for starting a NETBuilder II system with a Dual Processor Engine (DPE) module and the other describes the basic steps for starting a NETBuilder II system with a Communication Engine Card (CEC) 20 module.

NETBuilder II Systems The NETBuilder II system consists of a 4-Slot, 8-Slot, or 8-Slot Extended chassis, the main processor module (either a DPE or CEC 20), and NETBuilder II software.

Your new bridge/router is either an EZBuilt preassembled NETBuilder II system or a

NETBuilder II system that you have assembled from components.

EZBuilt Preassembled If you have an EZBuilt NETBuilder II system, it was preassembled before delivery. NETBuilder II System This guide assumes that you have followed the instructions in the hardware

installation guide to:

■Set up the system.

■Attach the network and power cables.

■Install a local terminal, PC (with a terminal emulation application), or modem to the console port of the main processor module.

Component System If you have a NETBuilder II system that you have assembled yourself from components, this guide assumes that you have followed the instructions in each hardware installation manual to:

■Install the system components.

■Attach the network and power cables.

■Install a local terminal, PC (with a terminal emulation application), or modem to the console port of the main processor module.

NETBuilder II Chassis The DPE module has two built-in flash memory drives. The upper drive is drive A, with a DPE Module and the lower drive is drive B. The DPE module does not support a ﬂoppy disk drive or the ﬂash drives used with the CEC 20 module.

NETBuilder II Chassis	The CEC 20 module has an internal ﬂash memory drive. The ﬂash memory drive is
with a CEC 20 Module	designated as drive A.
