    • 1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in section 2.1. are observed.
    • 2. Ensure that the board is properly configured for operation in accordance with application requirements before installing. For information regarding the configuration of the AT8402 refer to Chapter 4.
    • 3. To install the AT8402 perform the following:
    • 4. The AT8402 is now ready for operation.
    • 5. For out-of-band management, GbE and SAS/SATA access, install the RTM8400 (see below).
  • 2.3 Standard Removal Procedures
    • 1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in section 2.1. are observed.
    • 2. Unscrew the front panel retaining screws.
    • 3. Push in and hold the ejector handles in a horizontal position to release the hot swap switch. The blue LED starts blinking.
    • 4. Wait until the blue LED is fully ON, this mean that the hot swap sequence is ready for board removal.
    • 5. Disengage the board from the backplane by using both board ejection handles.
    • 6. After disengaging the board from the backplane, pull the board out of the slot.
  • 2.4 AMC Installation
    • 1. Remove the AMC filler panel.
    • 2. Carefully engage the AMC into the card guide. Push the AMC until it fully mates with its connector. Secure the AMC handle to the locking position.
    • 3. In normal condition, the blue LED shall turn ON as soon as the AMC is fully inserted. It will turn OFF at the end of the hot swap sequence.
  • 2.5 RTM Installation
    • 1. Remove the RTM filler panel.
    • 2. Carefully insert the board into the RTM slot corresponding to the front board slot of the AT8402 until it makes contact with the front board connectors.
    • 3. Connect all external interfacing cables to the RTM as required.
    • 4. Ensure that the RTM and all required interfacing cables are properly secured.
  • 2.6 Software Installation
  • 2.7 Quick Start
    • 2.7.1 In-Band CLI Access
    • 2.7.2 Out-of-band CLI Access
      • 1. Connect to serial port on the front plate (using the provided adaptor cable) or RTM (using a RJ45 straight cable). Port settings are:
      • 2. Ensure that the board is powered up.
      • 3. Wait for boot process to complete, i.e. until the console selection menu appears.
      • 4. Type ’b’ to connect to the Base Fabric console.
      • 5. Log in as admin and enter privileged mode by typing ’enable’ (no passwords required by default).
      • 6. Set IP address and netmask. (see below for an example IP address setting)
      • 7. Save configuration by copying it to the flash, confirm by typing ’y’
