    This manual describes how to use the Xyplex Network 9000 chassis management ™ commands to change and monitor certain characteristics of Network 9000 product modules and power supplies. It also explains the commands that display and monitor these characteristics. The Network 9000 chassis management commands manage the characteristics of products while they are operational, after they have loaded software and parameters.

  • Page 51: Enabling And Disabling Protocols

    Segment A. Enabling and Disabling Protocols By default, a Network 9000 module obtains its software load image and parameters from a flash memory card. If a flash card is not present, the module requests the software load image and parameter file from the flash card of another module in the chassis, or one or more hosts on the network.

  • Page 104 Resetting or Inhibiting Processor Modules and Power Supplies The RESET CHASSIS POWER SUPPLY HOLD command is equivalent to turning off the power supply. Doing this shuts off the power supply until you issue a RESET CHASSIS POWER SUPPLY command. You can only inhibit a redundant power supply. If you specify a required power supply, the command resets the processor on the power supply, but does not inhibit it.

    Inhibiting a Power Supply The following command holds power supply 2, which is Redundant. Xyplex>> reset chassis power supply 2 hold Power supply 2 is now inhibited, and is no longer providing power to modules in the chassis. Because it was redundant, one or more other power supplies in the chassis are now providing more power to compensate for the loss of power supply 2.

I/O module An I/O module is a Network 9000 component that provides links to the network and cabling. Terminal servers, LAN bridge/routers, WAN bridge/routers, and managed concentrators consist of a processor module and an I/O module. Unmanaged 10BASE-T concentrators consist of an I/O module only.
  • Page 115 The midplane is a hardware component in the middle of the Network 9000 chassis. It connects the processor module and the I/O module of a Network 9000 product. Independent I/O modules also plug into the midplane. The midplane supports three internal Ethernet segments, four Token Ring Segments, and two FDDI segments.
  • Page 116 A power supply is a component of the Network 9000 chassis which supplies power to the modules in the chassis. The Network 9000 chassis supports two types of power supplies: model PS/130 managed power supplies and model PS/120 unmanaged power supplies.
