Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine

Connecting Cables

To install the chassis on a workbench or tabletop, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or workbench, as well as from the surrounding area. Also make sure that your path between the device and its new location is unobstructed.

Step 2 Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the chassis. The rubber feet have an adhesive backing. Peel the protective tape off the adhesive and stick the feet to the bottom of a clean chassis surface. Place one foot in each corner.

Step 3 Place the chassis on the tabletop or workbench.

Step 4 Ensure that no exhaust air from other equipment will be drawn into the chassis. Also, make sure that there is adequate clearance at the front and rear of the chassis.

Connecting Cables

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.

To connect network, console, and SCSI cables to the device, follow these steps:

Step 1 For network connections, insert a Category 5 UTP cable into the Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2 receptacle on the device back panel. (See Figure 3-12.)

Step 2 Connect the other end of the network cable to a hub or switch in your network.

Step 3 For console connections, plug the serial cable into the serial port on the device back panel.

Step 4 Connect the other end of the console cable to a console or a communications server.
