    Installing Additional Cards in the Netra CT 820 Server The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server, so every card installed in the front of the server should also have an accompanying rear transition card installed in the same slot number at the rear of the server.

  • Page 27: Figure 3-1 Location Of Node Slots

    Caution – An energy and cooling hazard is present if any slots are left uncovered. If you remove a card from a slot, you must either fill the slot with a replacement card or cover it with a filler panel. Chapter 3 Installing Additional Cards Into the Netra CT 820 Server...

    Store the filler panel in a safe place; you might need to use it again if you have to remove a card for an extended period of time. 3. Get the node card that you want to install in the Netra CT 820 server from the ship kit.

  • Page 31: Cabling The System

    Connecting Cables to the Distributed Management Cards The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server, so most of the cabling for the distributed management card will be to the rear transition card at the rear of the server. The only exception would be the console port on the distributed management card at the front of the server.

    The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server, so all of the cabling for the switching fabric board will be to the rear transition card at the rear of the server. There are no active components on the rear transition card, so you must have the accompanying switching fabric board installed in the same slot at the front of the server, even though no cables will be connected to that front card.
