Installation

Cabling Up

To install the CN8000, refer to the installation diagrams on the next page (the

numbers correspond to the numbers of the steps), and do the following:

1. Use the Console cable provided with this package to connect the

CN8000’s Console port, to the local console keyboard, monitor and

mouse.

Note: 1. The Console cable comes with connectors for both PS/2 and USB

mice and keyboards – use the ones appropriate for your

installation.

2. You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse

connections. For example, you can use a PS/2 keyboard with a

USB mouse.

2. Use the KVM cable provided with this package to connect the CN8000’s

PC/KVM port, to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of the server or

KVM switch that you are installing.

Note: The diagram shows a connection to a KVM switch with PS/2 mouse

and keyboard ports using a PS/2 KVM cable set. The CN8000 can

also connect to a server or KVM switch that uses a USB connection

by using a USB KVM cable set. See Cables, page 5, for cable option

information.

3. If you want to use the virtual media function (see Virtual Media, page 47),

plug the USB 2.0 Virtual Media Cable provided with this package from

the server’s USB port into the CN8000's Virtual Media port.

Note: This step is optional.

4. Plug the LAN or WAN cable into the CN8000's LAN port.

5. Plug the power adapter cable into the CN8000's power jack, then plug the

power adapter into an AC power source.

Starting Up

Installation is complete, and you are ready to start up. When starting up, be sure

to first power on the CN8000, then power on the server or KVM switch.
