Preface

The Netra CT Server Product Overview describes the basic hardware components of the Netra CT server. It is a companion to the Netra CT Server Installation Guide, which describes how to install the Netra CT server, and the Netra CT Server Service Manual, which describes the removing and replacing of the server's field-replaceable units (FRUs).

The procedures described in the Netra CT Server Product Overview are limited mostly to the use of the Solaristrademark operating environment. These detailed instructions are a supplement to the Solaris documentation (printed or online) that accompanies the Netra CT server.

The intended reader of this manual is an experienced system administrator who has experience with the Solaris operating environment. The reader should be comfortable with LAN fundamentals and with networking in general.

All Netra CT servers are shipped with the Netra CT Server Safety and Compliance Manual, which specifies the environmental and electrical safety requirements for the product and contains compliance certification for various countries.
