OVERVIEW
This chapter is an overview of how to get started with your new NETBuilder II
system. This chapter provides you with two checklists: one describes the basic
steps for starting a NETBuilder II system with a Dual Processor Engine (DPE)
module and the other describes the basic steps for starting a NETBuilder II system
with a Communication Engine Card (CEC) 20 module.
NETBuilder II Systems The NETBuilder II system consists of a 4-Slot, 8-Slot, or 8-Slot Extended chassis, the
main processor module (either a DPE or CEC 20), and NETBuilder II software.
Your new bridge/router is either an EZBuilt preassembled NETBuilder II system or a
NETBuilder II system that you have assembled from components.
EZBuilt Preassembled
NETBuilder II System
If you have an EZBuilt NETBuilder II system, it was preassembled before delivery.
This guide assumes that you have followed the instructions in the hardware
installation guide to:
■ Set up the system.
■ Attach the network and power cables.
■ Install a local terminal, PC (with a terminal emulation application), or modem to
the console port of the main processor module.
Component System If you have a NETBuilder II system that you have assembled yourself from
components, this guide assumes that you have followed the instructions in each
hardware installation manual to:
■ Install the system components.
■ Attach the network and power cables.
■ Install a local terminal, PC (with a terminal emulation application), or modem to
the console port of the main processor module.
NETBuilder II Chassis
with a DPE Module
The DPE module has two built-in flash memory drives. The upper drive is drive A,
and the lower drive is drive B. The DPE module does not support a floppy disk
drive or the flash drives used with the CEC 20 module.
NETBuilder II Chassis
with a CEC 20 Module
The CEC 20 module has an internal flash memory drive. The flash memory drive is
designated as drive A.
