Introduction to the SP Switch Router Adapter card
SP Switch Router systems for IBM sites
Ethernet cable
An Ethernet 10/100Base-T cable is required for connecting the SP Switch Router to the SP
control workstation. It is the customer's responsibility to provide the appropriate cable to make
this connection as well as any Ethernet hubs or bridges that may be required to connect to the
SP LAN.
SP ground strap
A ground strap is included with the SP Switch Router and must be connected between the
designated site on the SP Switch Router chassis and an SP frame. Refer to “ESD requirements”
on page 1-8 for a diagram showing the location of router ground strap connections.
PCMCIA 520MB disk
The SP Switch Router shipping box also contains a PCMCIA 520MB spinning disk device.
The PCMCIA disk installs in the SP Switch Router’s control board, in the PCMCIA “A” slot.
Once installed, the SP Switch Router can be configured to log and dump locally to the 520MB
external storage device.
By default, logging is turned off when the SP Switch Router boots and comes up. After the
system comes up, one of the first tasks is to configure the PCMCIA disk. The configuration
procedure formats and mounts the external PCMCIA device, and places the required logging
pointers. The installation procedure is described in Chapter 2.
Redundant AC power supplies
The SP Switch Router you receive is installed with redundant AC power supplies. You must
plug the power supply cords directly into an AC wall or rack receptacle.
Note: The SP Switch Router has no power on/off switch.
When you plug the power supply cord into a live outlet, the SP Switch Router powers on and,
since the software is already loaded, immediately begins to boot.
Redundant supply safety
Please note the following when powering off (unplugging) the SP Switch Router unit:
Caution: This unit has two power supply cords. For total isolation from electrical shock and
energy hazard, disconnect both supply cords. Care must be taken to correctly connect each
power supply to separate AC power sources and (optional) UPS devices.
Vorsicht: Dieses Gerät hat zwei Netzanschlusskabel. Um das Gerät vollstandig von Netz zu
trennen ziehen Sie beide Kabel ab, sonst können Sie einen elektrischen Schlag erhalten.
Achten Sie darauf, daß jedes Stromkabel mit einer separaten Wechselstromquelle und einem
separaten USV-Gerät verbunden wird.
Attention: Cet appareil a deux cordons d’alimentation électrique. Pour une isolation
complète de tout choc électrique et de danger énergétique, débrancher les deux cordons
d’alimentation.
