Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance Administrator’s Guide

Before you can start the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance, make sure it is 
physically connected properly. Connections include:

✔ Connecting to the network through the primary network interface.

✔ Connecting a Terminal Emulator or Concentrator to the appliance’s COM1 

port using the serial cable that came packaged with the appliance.

✔ Attaching the supplied power cord to the appliance and plugging the cord into 

an approved receptacle.

You can find instructions on how to physically set up your system in the Intel

NetStructure Cache Appliance Quick Start.

Safety regulations and warranty require that the front bezel mounts and panel 
must be in place during operation of the appliance.

Once you have made the physical connections, you can initially configure your 
appliance and start it up.

▼ Initially configuring and starting your system

From the Terminal Emulator or Serial Concentrator, make sure you are 
emulating a VT100 terminal. Use these port specifications for the connection:

✔

9600 baud

✔

8 data bits

✔

No parity

✔

1 stop bit

✔

Hardware flow control

From the window emulating the VT100 terminal, open the connection to the 
appliance. 

Power on the appliance by pressing the power button, located behind the front 
bezel. Supplying power to the appliance starts the initial boot process. The 
initial boot process takes approximately three to four minutes. During this 
time random characters might appear on the screen of your VT100 terminal 
emulator.

See the Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance Quick Start for locations of 
controls and physical features on your system.
