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.
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.
Figure 2-2. Sample Cagenuts and Screws for Unthreaded Rack Rails
To mount the ANH-8/DC on a wall, you need at least four wall-mount anchor
screws (see Figure 2-4
).
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.
