7. Make sure that the Freeway 3412 is powered off, then make the LAN connections. The Freeway’s CPU board
has an RJ-45 connector for twisted-pair cable complying with the 10/100/1000BaseT specification.
Caution Alert your system administrator before making connections to your LAN. To avoid a disruption of
service on your LAN, carefully plan how you will make the connections. We recommend that you power off
the Freeway server during cable installation and removal.
Check with your system administrator to find out what type of cable is used at your site. You may need to use a
mini-hub to convert from 10/100/1000BaseT to 10Base2 or 10Base5 (100BaseT and 1000BaseT always use the
RJ-45 connector). You can obtain the necessary equipment and cables from a computer accessory vendor.
8. Make sure that the Freeway 3412 is powered off, then connect the ICP board to your wide area network WAN.
Power off Freeway completely We recommend that you power off the Freeway server and modem during
cable installation and removal. This will prevent damage to an ICP due to electrical discharge as contact is
made or broken.
Figure 3-2 shows an example Freeway 3412 hardware configuration. The Freeway 3412 has nine PCI slots,
which can be used either by ICP2432 boards or by optional secondary Ethernet Network Interface (NIC) Cards.
In this example, nine four-port or eight-port ICP2432 boards are installed.
The two-port ICP board has two separate 26-pin high-density connectors; port 0 is the connector nearest the top
of the Freeway 3412 chassis and port 1 is the other connector. Both the four-port and the eight-port boards have
the same 100-pin high-density connector. The four-port board uses a "quadrapus" (one-to-four) cable to attach
