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

Cables

Unless they were specifically ordered, the Ethernet and synchronous cables necessary for your network configuration are not part of the ANH-8/DC shipping accessories. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide for Routers and BNX Platforms.

Service Console

You can attach an optional VT-100 console or equivalent to the ANH-8/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 ANH-8/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 (Figure 2-2) to use with the cagenut screws.

To mount the ANH-8/DC on a wall, you need at least four wall-mount anchor screws (see Figure 2-4).
