Supplying Equipment

You may need items that are not part of the ARN accessory package. Before
installing the ARN hardware, ensure that you have all the cables, tools, and other
equipment that you need.

Cables

Unless they were specifically ordered, the cables necessary for your network
configuration are not part of the ARN accessory package. If you do not have the
proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide for
Routers and BNX Platforms.

Service Console

You can attach an optional VT-100 console (or equivalent) to the ARN to monitor
the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations. Or you
can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to diagnostics
and configuration.

Mounting Hardware

To rack-mount the ARN, you need a Phillips screwdriver and an electronic
enclosure rack that meets the following specifications:

Heavy-duty steel construction

Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing

Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)

If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use cagenuts (see

Figure 1-1

) to use with the cagenut screws.

Note:

To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot configuration

options (see Chapter 3), you must have a local terminal connected the first time
the ARN powers up.
