Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems

Service Console

You can attach an optional VT-100 console or equivalent to the AN/DC to monitor the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations; or you can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to diagnostics and configuration.

Note: To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot configuration options (see Chapter 3), there must be a local terminal connected the first time that the ANH-8/DC powers up.

Mounting Hardware

To rack-mount the AN/DC, you need an electronic enclosure rack that meets the following specifications:

•Heavy-duty steel construction

•Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing

•Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)

If the rack’s rails do not have threaded holes, you must supply cagenuts to use with the cagenut screws (see Figure 1-4).

Verifying Site Requirements

Verify that your installation meet the requirements listed in this section.

•Space Requirements

•Electrical Requirements

•Environmental Requirements

Note: The AN/DC should be installed only in dedicated equipment rooms where access is limited to qualified service personnel.
