2.3.3 Installing the NetScaler 9400 System
To install and connect the NetScaler 9400 system into your network:
1. Place the NetScaler 9400 system into the rack.
2. Attach the NetScaler 9400 system to the rack by securing the screws
provided, into the holes on each side of the unit’s front.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable(s).
You must provide these cables. These are connected from the Ethernet
ports on the front of the NetScaler 9400 system to the Ethernet ports on
the devices on your network.
a. Connect one end of a cable to the port labeled 1/1 on the front of the
NetScaler 9400 system (see Figure 2-21 on page 21 for the location of
this port), then connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the
switch.
b. (Optional) Connect one end of another cable to the port labeled 1/2
on the front of the NetScaler 9400 system (see Figure 2-21 on page 21
for the location of this port), then connect the other end to the
Ethernet port on the switch.
WARNING! Make sure not to create a network loop — this results if you
connect the cable in step 3a and the cable in step 3b to the same
switch or VLAN.
Note: If current configuration requires only one Ethernet port to be used
then any of ports 1/1 or 1/2 could be used. It is always good idea to
DISABLE the unused port(s) (it’s also mandatory in HA
configuration).
