CHAPTER 3: Installation
4.If Sw2 is off, the EPS will print status information to the serial port as it boots. Attach a console device (we recommend using a terminal) to the serial port of the server. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bit characters, and no parity. You can also attach the parallel port to a print device at this time.
NOTE: You can change the console device to a printer once you boot the EPS, but we recommend using a terminal the first time in case the EPS needs configuration information. After the server is running to your satisfaction, you can replace the terminal with a printer.
5.If you wish to provide an IP address for the EPS via BOOTP or RARP, add the EPS to your host’s BOOTP/RARP configuration table. See your host’s documentation for details. Many BOOTP hosts will not reply to a BOOTP request if the download filename in the configuration file is not available for downloading. If this is the case, you can create a null file in the download path to get BOOTP to reply.
6.Power up the
7.The EPS will go through 3 steps to begin normal operation:
1.It will run through a set of
2.It will then try to obtain TCP/IP configuration information via BOOTP and RARP; this will take approximately 15 seconds if no hosts answer the requests. During this step, the OK LED will blink approximately 3 times per second and the Network LED will blink occasionally as network requests are transmitted.
3.The EPS will then check that the code in the
