Quick Installation

We also suggest that you record the serial number of your 24-Port
module. The Hub Planning Charts, located in the CoreBuilder 5000 hub
reference binder, are provided for this purpose.
Table 3-1 outlines the steps necessary to complete the installation of
your module. If you are familiar with installing CoreBuilder 5000
modules, use this table as a checklist. Otherwise, consult the
remainder of this chapter.

Procedures for Completing Installation

Step Procedure
1 Verify that your network complies with the
basic rules for network design.
2 Unpack the module.
3 Configure the DIP switch settings. If you
have a network management module
installed in the hub, configure the module
using the management commands
described later in this chapter.
4 Enter the SHOW POWER
command line of the terminal. This
command displays current power
requirements for the hub.
5 Insert the module into an open slot in the
hub and fasten the ejectors and tighten the
faceplate screws. Use proper ESD
precautionary procedures when handling
the module.
6 Establish connections from the 24-Port
module to devices or a 10BASE-T transceiver
using the appropriate connectors and
cabling.
7 Verify LED status for normal operation.
