Installing the Router
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing the router.
You must take many factors into consideration while planning the router installation. Due
to the versatility of the router and the diversity of available host platforms, host bus
adapters (HBAs), switches, hubs, storage devices, and applications, only general
guidelines are found in this Guide. For examples of the most common configurations, see
Installation Configuration Examples on page 2-4.
You can mount the router in a standard 19" rack or place it on a table or desktop. Be sure
the operating environment meets the requirements found in Specifications on page 1-4.
To install the router, you need to complete the following tasks in sequence:
1 Unpack the router. See page 2-1.
2 Install the router. See page 2-2
3 Connect the router. See page 2-7.
4 Power up all devices. See page 2-10.
Unpacking the Router
Carefully unpack the router and ensure that you have all the parts specified below:
■ Router
■ Five rubber feet
■ Power cable
■ RS-232 cable

To unpack the router:
