    Figure 1-2. Grounding-Strap Jacks Cabling Specifications Due to the large variation in length requirements, Stratus does not supply adapter cables to connect a U916 PCI card to the T1/E1 or PRI-ISDN network. The U916 PCI card uses standard, off-the-shelf, category 5 cable with T1/E1 pin-outs through RJ-48C connectors.

    /var/adm/messages Getting Help Stratus systems offer a unique failure-reporting and remote diagnosis feature known as the Remote Service Network (RSN). When RSN software is installed on your system, it allows the Stratus Customer Assistance Center (CAC) to perform remote technical support of your system over an RSN-secured modem connection.

  • Page 54: Continuum Systems: Pci Card Cage Status Lights

    You can contact the CAC, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For contact information, see “Contacting the CAC” in the Preface. Stratus does not expect you to diagnose complex problems or perform major repairs. However, in some cases you might be able to solve a problem without replacing the PCI card or contacting the CAC.
