Software Information

The Solaris 8 2/02 operating environment is supported by the Netra CP2140 board. The CP2000 Supplemental CD 4.0 for Solaris 8 contains additional features for the Netra CP2140 board. CP2000 Supplemental CD 3.1 for Solaris 8 can also be used with the Netra CP2140 board, but will not contain all of the features of CD 4.0. For information on how to obtain the CD, contact your Field Application Engineer.

---

Hardware Information

The SMC module, the heatsink, the power module, and the front panel are an integral part of the CP2140 board. Any attempt to remove these components from the board will void your warranty. See the Netra CP2140 Technical Reference and Installation Manual (816-4908-xx) to determine the location of these components.

Technical Support

If you have any technical questions or technical support issues that are not addressed in the Netra CP2140 documentation set or you need to return the CP2140 board, please read the details below and contact your local Field Applicatiion Engineer.

Please have the board identification information ready (see FIGURE 2). The Netra CP2140 board part number, board serial number, product part number, product dash, date code and MAC address can be found on labels located on the board labels. For proper identification of the board, please see the list below and FIGURE 2:

The Sun barcode label provides the following information:

• Board part number (for example, 5016358) which is the first seven digits on the barcode label. The next six digits are the board serial number
  (for example, 000230).

The Subcon label provides the following information:

• Product part number (for example, 6403), product dash (for example, 04) and revision number (for example REV 09).

Replacing the Serial EEPROM

The Serial I²C EEPROM is the MAC address carrier and it stores the backup copy of the board MAC address and Host ID information. The CP2140 board supports the Serial I²C EEPROM.

If you need to replace the CP2140 board, remove the Serial I²C EEPROM from the original board and install it on the new CP2140 board. To correctly position the Serial I²C EEPROM and to precisely install it on the CP2140 board, see FIGURE 2.

Installation of the Board into a Non-High Availability (Non-HA) Chassis

---

Note - The CP2140 board is configured for operation in a non-HA chassis by default. If you are unsure of your settings, follow the procedure below.

---

Before Installing the Board in a Chassis

If you have a non-HA chassis, set the SMC module switch settings (on SW0501) as follows before powering on the board (see FIGURE 3 and FIGURE 4):

• SW0501.Switch1 ---> Closed (switch is set in direction of arrow)
• SW0501.Switch2 ---> Closed (switch is set in direction of arrow)

Installation of the Board into a High Availability (HA) Chassis

---

Note - The CP2140 board is configured for operation in a non-HA chassis by default. If you need to change the settings for HA operation, follow the procedure below.

---

Before Installing the Board in a Chassis

If you are installing the board into an HA chassis, set the SMC module switch settings (on SW0501) as follows before powering on the board (see FIGURE 5 and FIGURE 6):

• SW0501.Switch1 ---> Open (switch is set opposite to arrow direction)
• SW0501.Switch2 ---> Closed (switch is set in direction of arrow)
