Installing the FastEthernet Card

The reference for this procedure is the Netra Proxy Cache 30 Hardware Installation Guide (part number 805-3246-10), which is shipped with the Netra Proxy Cache Server product.

The numbered panels in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, below, illustrate the steps involved in installing the FastEthernet card. Detailed written instructions follow the figures.

To Install the FastEthernet Card

1. In the Netra Main Administration page, click Restart and Shutdown.

2. In the Restart and Shutdown Administration page, click Shutdown.

   Make sure "Check for new devices during restart" is selected.

3. When the shutdown completes (after about 60 seconds), press the Standby (

   

4. ) side of the power switch. See panel 1 of Figure 1-3.

5. Grasp the side panel and pull it toward the back of the system. Lift up and remove the panel. See panel 2 of Figure 1-3.

   Note -

   If the lock block is installed, you must remove it before opening the system unit.

6. Locate the wrist strap (shipped with the PCI card), and attach its adhesive copper strip to the chassis back panel. Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive side against your skin.

7. Remove the filler panel from the back panel of the system chassis.

8. Locate a PCI card slot for Sun FastEthernet card.

   Use Slot 2, unless that slot is already in use.

   Table 1-1 PCI Card Slots

   PCI Card Slot:	Operating Frequency	Input/Output Signaling Level:	Usable for Array Upgrade?
   Slot 1 J1301	33 MHz or 66 MHz	3.3 volts	No
   Slot 2 J1401	33 MHz	5.0 volts	Yes
   Slot 3 J1501	33 MHz	5.0 volts	Yes
   Slot 4 J1601	33 MHz	5.0 volts	Yes

   These slots are illustrated in Figure 1-4. The Sun FastEthernet card shipped in the upgrade kit is a 33 MHz card and thus cannot take advantage of the 66 MHz capability of slot 1 (J1301). It should be installed in slot 2 (J1401). If that slot is not available use slot 3 (J1501), or slot 4 (J1601).

   ---

   Note -

   Examples that follow in this document and in the Netra Proxy Cache Array manuals assume that the second network interface is installed in slot 2 (J1401).

9. Fit the card back panel into one of the system chassis card slots, and lower the card connector so that it touches its associated card slot on the main logic board.

10. Push the card by its corners straight down into the slot until the card is fully seated.

11. Use a magnetized Phillips screwdriver to attach the card bracket tab to the system chassis.

12. Detach the wrist strap and close the system unit.

    1. Holding the side panel in both hands, guide it so that the hooks align with the channels on the system unit chassis.

    2. Install the lock block if necessary.

13. Connect the just-installed network interface to your control network.

    The location of the interface is illustrated in Figure 1-5.

The new network interface (hme1) connects to a hub, to which you connect the hme1 interfaces on all of the hosts in the Netra Proxy Cache Array.

1. Press the right side of the power switch to turn on the server.
