Chapter 3 of the before handling the equipment. About this Guide This Quick Start Guide will assist with getting up and running with the SYMKLOUD MS2900 Platform. The guide addresses the following tasks: » Setting up the system and powering it on »...
If unsuccessful, remove the grounding lug by unscrewing the two fasteners and re- attach it from the rear of the cabinet/rack once the chassis is in place. See Section 2.3:”Connecting the Grounding Lug” for possible positions for installing the grounding lug. Figure 2: Attaching the Slide Rails to the Chassis www.kontron.com...
DC power supplies ship the parts for assembling a power cord. Instructions on how to wire the provided DC mating connector can be found in the Symkloud MS2900 User’s Guide.

DC power supplies (optional for AC power) and connected to earth ground for proper safety grounding of the chassis enclosure. The grounding lug can be positioned horizontally (parallel with the chassis’ side) or vertically (pointing toward the top-cover of the chassis). Both possibilities are shown below.

Quad 1GbE RJ-45 ports (Switch/ShMC 2) (Marked ‘’3’’, ‘’4’’, ‘’5’’ and ‘’6’’ on the Hub 2 faceplate) For information about port mapping for the 10GbE and 1GbE connections, see Figure 11 in the “Configuring Switches subsection under Section 4.1.1. www.kontron.com...
Figure 7: RJ-45 to DB-9 Console Adapter Figure 8 shows the location of the two 10GbE uplink ports and two 10GbE stacking ports (one of each per switch/ShMC hub), when the optional MSU8700 Rear uplink modules are used. Figure 8: MS2900 Rear I/O Connections www.kontron.com...
The manufacturing site checks for the presence of these conditions when the unit is built and ensures they are not occurring when the MS2900 platform is prepared for shipment. If any of these problems or other unexpected conditions are encountered, contact Kontron Support for assistance to diagnose/resolve the issue and continue working with the system.
This section covers all of the LEDs on the MS2900 platform, present on the following components: the hubs’ faceplates, the front panel, rear uplink modules, the node sleds, and the power supplies. Figure 9 shows the LED locations in detail. Figure 9: MS2900 Front and Rear LEDs www.kontron.com...
The MS2900 platform must be configured for the specific network environment targeted. There are two different ways to access the system components and tailor the networking configuration: » Using management networking, as shown in Section 4.1.1 » Using the serial console, as shown in Section 4.1.2 www.kontron.com...
Connect to the nodes via the serial connection (see Section 4.1.2), SSH, or initiate a KVM session from the System Monitor to access their serial console interface (shell). Once the processor nodes are configured, configure the fabric GbE interfaces to meet any specific needs. www.kontron.com...
NOTE: In the SMBStaX™ GUI, ports #1 and #27 are not visible in the default configuration since they are used for stacking. Chassis slots 7 and 9 have 10GbE pipes to support up to two 10G processor nodes: Hub 1, port #22 (node 7 fabric 1) Hub 2, port #24 (node 9 fabric 2) All other ports are 1GbE. www.kontron.com...
