To install the ARN, you may need some additional items that are not part of the 
ARN accessory package. Before installing the ARN hardware, ensure that you 
obtain all the cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.

Unless they were specifically ordered, the cables necessary for your network 
configuration are not part of the ARN accessory package. If you do not have the 
proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide.

You can attach an optional computer terminal or PC as a console to the ARN to 
monitor the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations. 
Or you can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to 
diagnostics and configuration.

To rack-mount the ARN, you need a Phillips screwdriver and an electronic 
enclosure rack that meets the following specifications:

•

Heavy-duty steel construction

•

Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing

•

Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)

If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use cage nuts (see 

) to use with the cagenut screws.

To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot options for booting 

and configuring the ARN (see Chapter 3, “Operating the ARN”), you must 
have a local terminal connected the first time the ARN powers up.
