8 8 A for 120 V ac 4 A for 220 V ac The 9235 appliance contains two 650-watt power modules that operate at 100 to 127 V ac or 200 to 240 V ac at 50 or 60 Hz. Both power supply modules must be connected to the same power source to prevent ground voltage potential difference between the two power modules. Japan Energy Saving Standard Computer Energy Consumption Efficiency Product Category I (2005): Watts/MTOPS Product Category E (2007): Watts/MTOPS Hardware requirements For first-time configuration of the software, this appliance requires a compatible RS-232c terminal or terminal emulator with a male DB-9 serial port connector. The terminal must support the following RS-232c serial parameters: 9600 baud 1 stop bit No parity XON/XOFF handshaking The terminal must support ANSI/VT-100 control sequences. "Hyperterminal" in Windows or "Minicom" in Linux are appropriate terminal emulators. Unattended or remote installation may be performed through a network attached terminal server. Software requirements The 9235 series appliance comes with IBM supplied software. It is not possible to install any other software. WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging V2.1 is required with WebSphere DataPower Low Latency Appliance XM70. For information, refer to Software Announcement AP , dated August 26, Planning information Customer responsibilities This product is designated for customer setup. Customer setup instructions are shipped with the product. Cable orders Each 9235 appliance contains four Gigabit Ethernet connections. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface (either at half-duplex or full-duplex) for connecting twistedpair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the appliance. To connect the Ethernet controller to a repeater or switch, use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100 Mbps or higher operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3 or better cabling must be used. Each 9235 appliance contains a single RS-232c serial port connection. The male DB-9 connector provides a 9600 baud asynchronous serial interface for connecting a serial cable to a console terminal (typically a terminal emulator running on an IBM PC). A 6 foot long "NULL modem" cable, with two female DB-9 connectors, is provided with the appliance for this purpose. The terminal's serial parameters should be set to 9600 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF handshaking. IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 8
