1 Unpack and Verify Unpack the IBM 2212 and verify that, along with this guide, the following items were included: Documentation Caution: Safety Information-Read This First IBM 2212 Introduction and Planning Guide IBM 2212 Service and Maintenance Manual IBM 2212 Hardware Configuration Quick Reference Card Configuration Program User's Guide Access Integration Services Configuration Tool and Documentation CD-ROM Hardware Service port cable Null-modem adapter Adhesive-backed feet for surface-mounting the IBM 2212 Adhesive holder for storing the Hardware Configuration Quick Reference Card Surface-mounting - continue with step 2a on page ***. Rack-mounting- go to step 2b on page ***.

2a Surface-Mounting the 2212 You need the following items: Cables, as required Four adhesive-backed feet Adhesive holder. Attach the adhesive-backed feet to the bottom four corners and the holder for the Hardware Configuration Quick Reference Card to the bottom of the IBM 2212, and then go to step 5 on page ***.

2b Rack-Mounting the 2212 You need the following items: Cables, as required Four rack-mounting screws Adhesive holder Screwdriver Note: If you have a shelf for the rack, install the shelf before continuing. Continue with step 3 on page ***.

3 (Rack-Mounting) The mounting brackets are shipped with the flanges facing the rear: Remove the two screws on each bracket. Reverse each bracket so that the IBM 2212 can be rack-mounted. Reinstall the screws. When the brackets are fitted correctly, the bracket on the right side is open over the IBM 2212's air vents. Attach the holder for storing the Hardware Configuration Quick Reference Card to the bottom of the IBM 2212. If you are attaching the holder to a Model 1xx, allow extra space on the bottom.

4 (Rack-Mounting) Install the rack-mounting screws as shown. These screws come with your rack.

5 (Rack- or Surface-Mounting)   Connect the power cord to the IBM 2212 and the power outlet. After three minutes, verify that the system card status green LED is lit. (See Chapter 2, Problem Solving if the system card status green LED is not lit. See LED Indicators for diagrams of the system card and adapter card LEDs.) Ensure that the Hardware Configuration Quick Reference card is completed and placed in the holder on the bottom of the IBM 2212.

6 Complete the Setup (Rack- or Surface-Mounting) Connect the modem cable and network cables. Report to the network administrator the phone number of the modem to be used by service for remote access to the IBM 2212. The IBM 2212 is ready to be configured. Go to Chapter 3, "Accessing the IBM 2212", and then Chapter 4, Performing the Initial Configuration.
