Connecting Cables

Follow these steps to connect network, console, and SCSI cables to the

Content Engine.

Note The SCSI cable is part of the Cisco Storage Array accessory kit. If you did not

order the Cisco Storage Array, you did not receive a SCSI cable.

Step1 For network connections, insert a Category 5 UTP cable into the Ethernet 1 or

Ethernet 2 receptacle on the Content Engine back panel. (See Figure 3-9.)

Step2 Connect the other end of the network cable to a hub or switch in your

network.

Step3 For console connections, plug the serial cable into the serial port on the

Content Engine back panel.

Step4 Connect the other end of the console cable to a console or a communications

server.

Step5 If you are using a Cisco Storage Array as an external storage device, attach the

SCSI cable to the SCSI LVD port.

Caution Make sure to tighten the jackscrews on the SCSI cable.

Note SCSI port is available only on CE-566 model.

Step6 Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the appropriate port on the

Storage Array.

For further information about the Cisco Storage Array, refer to the

Cisco StorageArray Installation and Configuration Guide publications.
