Installing the Processing Server (PS-1)
To see the location of connectors on the PS-1, see Figure 5-28 on page 5-58 and Figure 5-29.
To install a PS-1:
1. Rack mount the PS-1 (recommended).
2. Make sure the power switches on the front and back of the PS-1 are turned off. See
Figures 5-28 and Figure 5-29 on page 5-58.
3. Connect the PS-1 to an AC power source, but do not turn either of the power switches
on at this time. For electrical requirements, see Table 4-4 on page 4-32.
4. Using a CAT5 or CAT5e cable terminated on both ends with RJ-45 plugs, connect the
PS-1 to the network through the same 100 Mbps LAN switch as the Base Server.
5. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the PS-1. See Figure 5-29. If a monitor and
keyboard are not available, you can use a laptop PC equipped with a DB-9 serial port. In
the alternate mode using a laptop PC, connect the PS-1 to the laptop with a straight-
through RS-232 cable and null modem with hardware flow control, as shown in Figure 5-
29.
6. Turn power on using the On/Off switch on the back of the chassis. Leave the On/Off
switch on the back of the chassis turned on at all times.
7. Turn power on using the button switch on the front of the chassis. Use the button switch
to control power to the system. Leave the On/Off switch on the back of the chassis
turned on at all times.
IMPORTANT
The PS-1 and Base Server must be connected to the network on the
same LAN, VLAN, and subnet. For additional details, see “Network
Environment Requirements” on page 5-148.
