Installing VS2000 Hardware
Use the following procedure to connect the VS2000.
1.
Record the model and serial numbers of the VS2000.
2. Optionally, mount the VS2000 into the rack using
the enclosed mounting brackets. The unit is
designed to install in the rack with the front or back
of the unit facing the front of the rack.
Warning: If mounting the VS2000 into a rack mount
unit, make sure the rack is not top heavy.
3. Connect the cable from the appropriate Ethernet
connection (10Base-T or AUI) on the VS2000 to your
server or Ethernet hub.
Note: If connecting the VS2000 directly to the server, an
Ethernet crossover cable is required.
Note:
4. Connect the power cord.
5. Go to the Power-On Diagnostics discussion.
Power-On Diagnostics
When you switch a VS2000 on, it performs a self-
diagnostic. The results are displayed via the LED lights
on the back panel. If the unit is working correctly, the
following events should take place:
1.
Turn the power switch to the On position.
2. All LEDs should light up briefly, to show that they
are working.
3. Both 10Base-T lights should remain lit after the
port LEDs go out, while the unit establishes the
Ethernet connection and polarity.
4. If using 10Base-T cabling, the lower LED remains
lit to indicate that the Ethernet connection is
established and polarity is correct.
5. The Port 2 LED begins flashing, to indicate that the
VS2000 is waiting for the server to initiate VS-Link
communications.
Note: The following steps only occur after you have
installed the VS-Link software. Use the VS2000
VS-Link Installation and Configuration Guide for
software installation information.
After installing the software, turn off the VS2000
and verify the full diagnostics sequence.
6. The upper 10Base-T LED flashes briefly, as the
server acquires control of the VS2000.
7. The port LEDs begin flashing in a “sweeping”
sequence, to indicate that the unit is operating
normally.
Note: See the following tables if you are not seeing the
LED sweeping sequence activity.
