Uplink Card Installation This guide shows you how to install: ❑ One of the following uplink cards in the lower PCI slot of the FORMULA 8200 switch: — ATM uplink card, model AT-8202 — FDDI uplink card, model AT-8203 ❑ The accelerator card in the upper PCI slot The accelerator card provides improved performance to the uplink card and switch.
About the FDDI Uplink Card ❑ RFC 1577 Classical IP (CIP) and ARP over ATM ❑ ATM Forum’s User Network Interface (UNI) 3.0 or 3.1 signaling standard ❑ ATM Forum’s Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) 1.0 About the FDDI Uplink Card Note Contact your supplier for the FDDI uplink card’s availability. The FDDI uplink card provides fiber optic connectivity between switched Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks an and FDDI backbone network.
AT-8202 and AT-8203 Installation Guide As shown in Figure 2, the FDDI uplink allows workstations on Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks to reach remote systems across a fiber optic backbone ring network.
Verifying Your Uplink Package Verifying Your Uplink Package Your uplink card package consists of: ❑ This installation guide ❑ One of the following cards: — 155 Mbps ATM uplink OC-3 MMF card (model AT-8202), or — FDDI uplink card (model AT-8203) ❑ One accelerator card ❑ Warranty card If any of these components are damaged, contact your shipping carrier representative. If any components are missing, please phone the Allied Telesyn. Refer to Appendix D, “Where To Find Us,” on page 23.
AT-8202 and AT-8203 Installation Guide Installing the Uplink Card Caution Prior to installing the uplink card, make sure you have successfully installed the FORMULA 8200 switch with firmware version 1.4.3 or greater, and that it is functioning properly. You will need a #1 Phillips screwdriver for this procedure. To install the uplink card in the FORMULA 8200, use the following steps: 1. Turn off power to the FORMULA 8200. The power switch is located on the rear panel of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3.
Installing the Uplink Card 4. Remove additional hardware, such as rackmounting brackets. Note If the switch is installed on the desktop, you need not remove the rubber feet. Warning Use proper static-free procedures prior to opening the unit and touching components. 5. Remove the top cover from the unit, as follows: a. Remove the screw from the back of the unit that locks the cover in place. Retain the screw for replacing the cover later. b. Lift the cover and slide it off (Figure 4).
AT-8202 and AT-8203 Installation Guide Figure 5: Cover Plate Removal 7. Install the uplink card into the lower PCI slot (Figure 6). Ensure that the uplink card is fully seated in the lower PCI slot. Align the back edge of the board in the card guide as you are installing it. Figure 6: Uplink Card Insertion Caution The uplink card will not function if it is installed into the upper PCI slot. The upper PCI slot is intended for the accelerator card only.
Installing the Uplink Card 8. Using the screw from Step 6, secure the uplink card to the chassis (Figure 7). Figure 7: Uplink Card Attachment to Chassis 9. 8 Proceed immediately to the next sections to install the accelerator card, replace the cover, and then re-initialize the switch.
AT-8202 and AT-8203 Installation Guide Installing the Accelerator Card Before following these procedures, make sure the uplink card is already installed in the lower slot. 1. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw that secures the cover plate to the uplink panel (Figure 8). Figure 8: Cover Plate Removal for Top PCI Slot 2. Insert the accelerator card into the top PCI slot and ensure that it is fully seated.
Replacing the Chassis Top Cover Replacing the Chassis Top Cover 1. Slip the back of the cover over the back chassis rails, as shown in Figure 10. AC-4003 Figure 10: Chassis Top Cover Replacement 10 2. Lower the cover onto the chassis, being careful to align the latches along the chassis sides with the latch cutouts on the cover. 3. Once the cover is in position, gently push it forward toward the front bezel until it latches into position. 4.
AT-8202 and AT-8203 Installation Guide Initializing the Switch 1. Connect a terminal to the switch’s console port so you can monitor the boot process. Refer to your FORMULA 8200 Installation Guide for the procedures. 2. Apply power to the switch. The switch firmware runs post diagnostics where it decompresses data and loads it into the DRAM. The process takes about 15 to 20 seconds.
Interpreting the LEDs Interpreting the LEDs The ATM uplink card has one link LED. If there is a valid link, the LED is solid green. If the uplink card is not connected to any device, or there is a problem with the link, the LED is off. The FDDI uplink card has two LEDs. Table 1 provides information about what the LEDs mean in various states. Table 1: FDDI LED States LED Status Board Status Description Yellow Green Off Off Fail Adapter card is not functional, or driver is not loaded.
AT-8202 and AT-8203 Installation Guide Cabling Requirements for the FDDI Uplink Card The FDDI uplink card provides two dual SC connector ports (Figure 11). These ports allow both SAS and DAS configurations. Use 62.5/125 micron multimode cables. Port B Port A Figure 11: FDDI Uplink Card’s Dual SC Connector Ports You can attach a plastic clip to hold the cable ends (see Figure 12) for easy connection and disconnection on the FDDI uplink card.
Cabling Requirements for the FDDI Uplink Card DAS Cable Connections For a DAS configuration, connect Port A and Port B to their corresponding ports at the host, as shown in Figure 14. DAS B A Upstream Downstream FDDI DAS Device A B B A FDDI DAS Device Figure 14: DAS Cable Connections Optical Bypass Connector The FDDI uplink card provides a standard optical bypass connector for installation of an optical bypass relay, if you choose to use one. See Figure 15.
