Introducing the IP Application Switch Platform
Platform Guide: 1500, 3400, 6400, and 6800 1 - 3
Components provided with the IP Application Switch
When you unpack the IP Application Switch, you should make sure that the
following components, shown in Figure 1.4, are included:
• One power cable
• One serial console cable
• Four rack-mounting screws
• Software recovery CD
If you purchased a hardware-based redundant system, you also received one
fail-over cable to connect the two IP Application Switch units together
(network-based redundant systems do not require a fail-over cable).

Peripheral hardware that you provide
For each IP Application Switch in the system, you need to provide the
following peripheral hardware:
◆ If you plan to use direct administrative access to the IP Application
Switch, you need standard input/output hardware. This requires a serial
terminal and a null modem cable.
◆ If you want to use the default IP Application Switch configuration, you
must have an administrative workstation on the same IP network as the
IP Application Switch.
