Installation and ConfigurationInstallation OverviewChapter 224Installation OverviewInstalling Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet cards consists of the following steps:• Power down your system, or card section (if applicable)• Insert the card in the card cage• Power up your system, or card section (if applicable)• Install the appropriate driver(s) if necessary.• Configure the card• Verify the installationThis chapter provides detailed instructions to install and configure your card.For detailed help in resolving installation, configuration and operational problems, seeChapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” on page 47.Create a Record or Map of Your InternetworkBe sure to create or update a record of your network and internetwork before attemptinginstallation. You may find the Ethernet Card Configuration Worksheet in the appendixhelpful for this. You can also create a map showing how pieces of your internetwork arerelated. Your records should include the following:• Approximate dimensions of the building or room containing the Ethernet network• Location of routers, bridges and gateways• Location of nodes and node connections• Location of network segments and subnets within each segment• Hostname of each node• Internet address and alias of each node (in the case of gateways, each Ethernet cardhas its own Internet address and alias)• Hardware path of each card in the system, including Ethernet cards (you can usethis information as part of a disaster recovery plan)• Version number of the operating system installed on each node
