3. Insert the front panel of the PMC card into the cutout for PMC slot 2 on the front panel of the Model 6081RC. 4. Align the two connectors on the PMC card with the corresonding connectors on the Model 6081RC (see figure 5 on page 22).
• A cold-water pipe • Building structural steel 1. If you have not done so already, remove the Model 6081RC from its shipping container. Note Be sure to wear the anti-static strap to prevent electrostatic damage to the blade. Note The location should be well ventilated.
CAUTION mechanical serviceability. Connecting the Ethernet ports The Model 6081RC comes with three Ethernet ports. One Ethernet port is presented on the front panel via an RJ-45 connector (figure 7), and two internal Ethernet ports that connect to the PICMG 2.16 backplane for inter- card communication.
8. Connect a straight-through CAT-5 cable (one wired as shown in figure 8) between the Model 6081RC and the hub/switch. Figure 8. Ethernet RJ-45 pin and signal definitions for Model 6081RC Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet port to an Ethernet-capable workstation or PC The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port can connect to a single Ethernet-capable workstation or PC by means of a cross over cable.
DB-9-to-RJ-45 cable Completing the hardware installation This section verifies that the Model 6081RC hardware is operational to the point where you can begin config- uring the software settings. Power is delivered from the chassis backplane through the power connectors on the 6081RC blades. Upon insertion into the ForeFront chassis, the Model 6081RC immediately powers up and begins its boot cycle.
