2-2 T-Series Traffic Director Installation, Configuration and Administration Guide
Chapter 2 Installing the T1000
Step 2 Review the site requirements and shipment contents. See “Preparing for Installation” on
page 2-4
Step 3 Unpack the shipping container. See “Unpacking the Shipping Container” on page 2-7.
Step 4 Rack-mount the T1000. See “Rack Mounting the T1000” on page 2-8.
Step 5 Connect cables. These cabling steps may be performed in any order (depending on
deployment schedule):
a. Connect data cables between the T1000 and the adjacent network device(s). See “Making
Data Plane Connections” on page 2-11.
b. Connect the management plane of the T1000 to operator’s management network. See
“Making Management Connections” on page 2-18. Local management may also be
performed from a console connection, which is also performed in this step.
c. See “Connecting and Disconnecting AC Power” on page 2-19 or “Connecting and
Disconnecting DC Power” on page 2-22.
Step 6 Perform the initial setup and configuration. See “Accessing and Configuring the
Management Plane” on page 2-29.
Step 7 Support users may configure and use the LOM port. See “Accessing and Configuring the
LOM Port” on page 2-31.
Cautions and Warnings
Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the
T1000 from damage.
• Be aware of the location of the emergency power off (EPO) switch so that if an
electrical accident occurs, you can quickly remove power to the T1000.
• Remove all jewelry and other metal objects that might come into contact with power
sources or wires before installing or repairing the T1000. When you touch both a live
power source or wire and ground, any metal objects can heat up rapidly, and may
cause burns, set clothing on fire, or fuse the metal object to an exposed terminal.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the T1000 from
power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep the T1000 operating in case of power
failure.
• Never stack the T1000 on top of any other server or electronic equipment.
• All T1000s are designed to be installed on power systems that use TN earthing. Do
not install your device on a power system that uses either TT or IT earthing.
• Make sure that the T1000 has a direct physical connection to the earth during normal
use. When installing or repairing an T1000, always make sure that the ground circuit
is connected first and disconnected last.
• Make sure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240
VAC, 16 A international) is used on all current-carrying conductors on the power
system to which your T1000s are connected.
