Back panel
The following figure shows the back panel of the MPX 16000T appliance.
Figure 2. Citrix ADC MPX 16000T, back panel
The following components are visible on the back panel of the MPX 16000T appliance:
• One 960 GB removable solid-state drive (SSD).
• Power switch, which turns power to the appliance on or off.
o If the OS is functional, press the switch for less than two seconds to power down the
system with a graceful shutdown.
o If the OS is not responsive, press and hold the power switch for more than 4 seconds
to force the power off.
• Two power supplies, 100-240 VAC. Each power supply has an LED indicating its status, described
in Connecting the appliance to a power source.
• Disable alarm button, press this button to silence the power alarm when one of two power supplies
loses input power or when a power supply is malfunctioning.
• Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) Button, used at the request of Technical Support to initiate a core
dump. To press this red button, which is recessed to prevent unintentional activation, use a pen,
pencil, or other pointed object. The NMI Button is also available remotely over the network in the
LOM GUI, in the Remote Control menu. For more information about the lights out management
port of the appliance, see https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-hardware-platforms/MPX/netscaler-
MPX-lights-out-management-port-lom.html.

Installation
Installation involves rack-mounting the appliance, installing transceivers (if available), and connecting
the appliance to the network and a power source.
Note: The appliances illustrated in the installation instructions might not represent the actual ADC
appliance.
Rack mounting the appliance
The appliance is shipped with rack-rail hardware. This hardware consists of two inner rails that you
attach to the appliance, one on each side, and a rack-rail assembly that you attach to the rack. The
following figure illustrates the steps involved in mounting the Citrix ADC appliance to a rack.
Figure 3. Rack mounting the appliance

Connecting the appliance to the network
Connect the interfaces on the appliance to the network ports on the appropriate switches by using
Ethernet/fiber optic cables.
Warning: Connecting multiple network ports to the same switch or VLAN can result in a network loop.
Note: By default, the ADC MPX appliance is configured to use auto-negotiation. When you install a
ADC appliance for the first time, be sure to configure your other equipment to use auto-negotiation for
the ports that are connected to the ADC appliance. After initial logon and configuration, you can
choose to disable auto-negotiation.
Connecting the appliance to a power source
Connect the power cable to one of the inlet receptacles on the back of the appliance and connect the
other end of the power cable to a power outlet. If your appliance has more than one power supply,
repeat this process. The extra power supply serves as a backup. The Citrix logo on the front of the
appliance illuminates after the appliance starts.
Note: If you want to upgrade to the latest release of the system software before proceeding, see
https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/upgrade-downgrade-citrix-adc-appliance.html.

Setting up connectivity
Connect the appliance to a management workstation or the network by using the ADC configuration
utility (GUI), or the command line interface (CLI).
Log on to the appliance as nsroot. For initial configuration, use the serial number of the appliance as
the administrative password. For subsequent access, use the password assigned during initial
configuration.
Using the GUI
To set up the appliance by using the GUI, you need a management workstation or laptop configured
on the same network as the appliance. To run the configuration utility, the Java RunTime Environment
(JRE) version 1.4.2_04 or later must be installed on the workstation or laptop.
Note: The Setup Wizard automatically opens upon logon when the appliance is configured with the
default IP address, when licenses are not installed on the appliance, and when a subnet IP address is
not configured.
To configure the appliance by using the ADC GUI
1. Connect the port labelled 0/1 on the appliance to a management workstation or network.
2. Open a browser and type: http://192.168.100.1
Note: The ADC is preconfigured with the IP address 192.168.100.1.
3. In the User Name box, type nsroot and in the Password box, type the serial number of the
appliance.
4. In Deployment Type, select ADC.
5. In the Setup Wizard, click Next and follow the instructions in the wizard to configure the basic
parameters, such as IP address, netmask, and gateway.
6. To confirm that the ADC appliance is configured correctly, you can either ping the new ADC IP
address (NSIP) or use the new NSIP to open the configuration utility in a browser.
For information about deploying a high availability (HA) pair, see https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-
adc/current-release/system/high-availability-introduction/configuring-high-availability.html.
Using the ADC serial console
To set up the appliance by using the command-line interface (CLI), connect the 6-foot RJ-45/DB-9
serial cable to the console port. Access the command line with a terminal or terminal emulator with the
following settings:
• Baud rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
Log on to the ADC with the following credentials:

Citrix | ADC Quick Start Guide: MPX 16000T appliance
10
User name: nsroot
Password: serial number of the appliance
To configure the appliance by using the ADC CLI
At the command prompt, type:
• set ns config -ipaddress <IPAddress> -netmask <subnetMask>
• add ns ip <IPAddress> <subnetMask> -type <type>
• add route <network> <netmask> <gateway>
• set system user <userName> -password
When prompted, enter a password.
• save ns config
• reboot
Example
set ns config -ipaddress 10.102.29.60 –netmask 255.255.255.0
add ns ip 10.102.29.61 255.255.255.0 -type snip
add route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.102.29.1
set system user nsroot -password
Enter password: *****
Confirm password: *****
save ns config

Configuring the LOM port
You can use the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), also known as the Lights Out
Management (LOM) port, to remotely monitor and manage the appliance, independently of the ADC
software. For initial configuration of the lights-out management (LOM) port, connect to the port's
default IP address and change it to the address that you want to use for remote monitoring and
management. Also specify the administrator credentials and the network settings.
To configure the ADC LOM port
1. Connect the LOM port to a management workstation or network.
2. In a web browser, type: http://192.168.1.3.
Note: The ADC LOM port is preconfigured with the IP address 192.168.1.3 and subnet mask
255.255.255.0.
3. In the User Name box, type nsroot and in the Password box, type the serial number of the
appliance.
4. On the Configuration tab, click Network and type values for the following parameters:
a. IP Address—IP address of the LOM port.
b. Subnet Mask—Subnet mask used to define the subnet of the LOM port.
c. Default Gateway—IP address of the router that connects the LOM port to the network.
5. Click Save.
Remote power control of the appliance
The LOM port can be used to remotely turn the appliance on and off. Selecting “Power Off System -
Orderly Shutdown “ is similar to pressing the power button on the appliance for less than two
seconds: The appliance performs a graceful shutdown. All operations on the appliance are stopped,
no new connections are accepted, and all existing connections are closed.
To power down the appliance
1. In a web browser, type the IP address of the LOM port.
2. In the User Name box, type nsroot and in the Password box, type the serial number of the
appliance.
3. In the Menu bar, click Remote Control.
4. Under Options, click Power Control, and then click Power Off System - Orderly Shutdown.
5. Click Perform Action.
To power up the appliance
1. In a web browser, type the IP address of the LOM port.
2. In the User Name and Password boxes, type the administrator credentials.
3. In the Menu bar, click Remote Control.
4. Under Options, click Power Control, and then click Power On System.
5. Click Perform Action.
