CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING AND CONNECTING
TO THE NETWORK
Carefully unpack the ATX from the shipping carton and inspect it
for possible damage. If any damage is evident, contact Cabletron
Systems Technical Support. You can also order additional modules
separately.
The shipping carton contains:
• The ATX chassis.
• Two power cords.
• Documentation – In addition to this manual, the ATX MIB
Reference Guide and Release Notes are also included.
• Console Cable Kit
Once you have verified that you have received the modules you
ordered and an additional power supply if you ordered it, you can
mount the ATX, connect the power supply, and verify that the ATX
is fully operational. You can then connect the Local Console
Manager. To connect the modules to your network, refer to the
module manual for the type of module you are connecting.
2.1 ATX FRONT PANEL
The front panel of the ATX and the I/O modules have both LEDs
and switches. LEDs indicate activity taking place; the RESET
switch allows you to reset the ATX and its modules. Modules are
described in more detail in their manuals. You may want to
familiarize yourself with the front panels so you are aware of what
is taking place. The front panel of the ATX is shown in Figure 2-1; it
also shows front panels of some module types.
