NOTE
Once you enter the IP address into the rack, it is stored in battery-
backed-up memory on the control card and will not be lost when you
disconnect the power cord.
5.2 Installing the Rack
The on-site installation consists of mounting the rack into a cabinet, connecting
the necessary cables, and powering up the rack. The network manager can further
configure the rack from a remote management center via a Telnet session.
At each site, you can install up to 256 racks. For SNMP, the racks may be
connected to a terminal server using the 10BASE-Tconnector located on the
control card.
