The handles on the left and right of the front panel of the appliance should be used
only for extending the appliance out of the rack. Do not use these handles for
mounting the appliance on the rack.
Connecting a NetScaler Appliance to the Network
Connect the interfaces on the appliance to the network ports on the appropriate
switches by using Ethernet/fiber optic cables.
Figure 1-5. Connecting a Citrix
NetScaler appliance to the network
Warning: Connecting multiple network ports to the same switch or VLAN can
result in a network loop.
Note: By default, the NetScaler MPX appliance is configured to use auto-negotiation.
When you install a NetScaler appliance for the first time, be sure to configure your
other equipment to use auto-negotiation for the ports that are connected to the
NetScaler appliance. After initial logon and configuration, you can choose to disable
auto-negotiation.
Connecting an Appliance to a Power Source
Connect the power cable to one of the inlet receptacles on the back of the appliance
and connect the other end of the power cable to a power outlet. If your appliance has
more than one power supply, repeat this process. All models function properly with a
single power supply, except the MPX 22040/22060/22080/22100/22120 platform which
needs two power supplies for proper operation. The extra power supply on some
models serves as a backup. The Citrix logo and LCD on the front of the NetScaler
illuminate after the appliance starts, and the LCD indicates the operational status of
the appliance.
