5. Once the DC power supply is inserted into the chassis, route the DC power cord
through your rack and cabling system to the -48 VDC power supply.
6. Connect the supply leads of the DC power cord to the DC power supply.
After mounting the Acme Packet 4500 in an equipment rack and installing all
components into the chassis, connect all appropriate data cables to the ports before
powering the system up and configuring it.
We recommend using fully shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables for NIU media
and management Ethernet connections to protect the Acme Packet 4500 from
potential damage.
You can install and remove Ethernet and GigE optical cables while the Acme Packet
4500 is operational. Not every port needs to be utilized for proper operation.
However, when a cable is disconnected and the link is lost, an alarm is generated.
The Acme Packet 4500 has two console ports, one mounting on the chassis's front
control panel and the other mounted on the rear-facing NIU. The Acme Packet 4500
ships with a console adapter, which allows you to connect a standard DB-9 serial
port to the Acme Packet 4500's RJ45 console port. Only one console port on the
Acme Packet 4500 can be used at a time.
The console port located on the front panel is the default. This may be changed by
configuration. Only one console port on the Net-Net 4500 can be used at a time.
Some text may be output to the non-active console port. This is normal. However,
only input from the active console port can be recognized by the Net-Net 3820.
Note: For bootloaders dated November 10, 2010 and later, on initial
boot, if the rear console port is connected, a message is displayed
instructing you to reconnect to the front console port.
