Chassis and Blade Installation • 55

Connect the CONTROL IN port to your regular network using a standard network
cable. Make sure not to use the cross-over cable you were just using. Test the
connection to the RMC by pinging its address from any other computer on the
network.

Resetting the RMC IP Settings to the Factory Defaults

To reset the IP address on an RMC to the factory default, do the following:

1. Shut down power on all blades in the primary R4200 chassis that houses the

RMC.

2. Remove the AC power cord from the back of the primary R4200 chassis.

3. Remove the Ethernet cable from the RS485 OUT port on the back of the primary

R4200 chassis, if one is connected.

4. Plug the Factory Default Jumper cable (provided with your R4200 chassis in the

Chassis accessory kit) into the RS485 OUT port on the back of the primary
R4200 chassis.

5. Plug the AC cable back into the R4200 chassis and wait at least 15 seconds.

6. Remove the Factory Default Jumper cable.

7. Reattach the Ethernet cable to the RS485 OUT port on the back of the primary

R4200 chassis, if one was previously connected.

8. Power the blades back up in the primary R4200 chassis (if desired).

The RMC network controller is reset to the factory default settings, with an IP address
of 192.168.1.251. Resetting the RMC to its factory defaults and connecting to it with a
laptop computer using a crossover cable is a helpful troubleshooting technique.

R4300 Chassis Upgrade Kit Installation

An R4200 chassis can be upgraded to an R4300 chassis with an available chassis
upgrade kit. To install the R4300 chassis upgrade kit, do the following:

1. Power down the blades in the chassis.

2. Disconnect AC power from the chassis.

3. Open the front bezel of chassis and pull any installed blades out approximately

one inch to disconnect them from the BackPack connectors.

4. Remove the 5 hex head screws retaining the fan pack.

5. Use the side finger holes to pull the fan pack from the chassis.

NOTE

It is recommended that you change your password for security
reasons. If you are unable to connect to the RMC card across
your network, make sure the network connection at the switch
for your RMC is able to pass 10Mbps traffic.
