6. Installing an nShield Connect in a rack,
cabinet, or shelf
This chapter describes how to install the nShield Connect. For more information about
connecting the nShield Connect to the network, and configuring it for connection to one
or more clients on the network, see the nShield Connect User Guide.
Always handle modules correctly. For more information, see Handling
an nShield Connect.
Take due account of the weight and dimensions of the nShield Connect when selecting a
location for storage or installation (see Handling an nShield Connect).
You cannot install or configure the nShield Connect remotely.
To install the nShield Connect in a 19” rack, follow the instructions supplied with your
rack mounting kit.
To install the nShield Connect in a cabinet or a shelf, fit the four self-adhesive rubber feet
(supplied with the HSM) to the bottom of the HSM. An X is scored into the chassis at
each of the four corners on the bottom of the HSM as a guide to placing the feet.
6.1. Connecting Ethernet, console and power cables
The nShield Connect is an Ethernet network device capable of supporting up to 100m of
Ethernet cable. You must use a CAT5e UTP cable or better when connecting the HSM to
a 100Mbit or 1Gbit Ethernet device. You must use a CAT3 cable or better for 10Mbit
connections.
The connectors for Ethernet cables and mains power cables are at the rear of the nShield
Connect.
Ensure that:
•
All power cables are routed to avoid sharp bends, hot surfaces, pinches, and
abrasion.
•
You connect mains power cables to both the PSUs.
•
The rocker switch for each PSU is in the on position.
The following image shows the Ethernet, console and mains power connections:
