After installing the U522 card in the PCI card cage, you must connect the UTP cables to the card and, if necessary, configure the card.

1.Connect the UTP cables to the card connectors on the top of the PCI card cage (Figure 2-4).

2.Close the card cage door. When you close the door, power is restored to the card cage.

3.If you replaced a U522 card that had been previously installed in the same slot, the card performs a self-test, during which the yellow status light on the card cage is illuminated. The yellow light then flashes while the system configures the card.

When the card is online, both the green and the yellow lights are illuminated, indicating the card is running simplexed.

If this is a first-time installation, the red status light is illuminated, indicating that you must install the communications software and configure it for use with the U522 card. Refer to the appropriate manual from those listed in the ‘‘Software Requirements’’ in Chapter 1 for information on these procedures.
