Introduction
The CNA-8000 is a versatile 3U, rack-mountable enterprise class server product capable
of running many features and functions traditionally supported by the Cisco CIP/CPA,
IBM 3172 and 2216, and Visara 1174 Control Unit product family. These features
include running as a TN3270 server, providing TN3270 clients access to a mainframe
SNA 3270 environment. Additionally the CNA-8000 can provide SNA gateway access to
remote PU 2.0 and PU 2.1 platforms residing on Ethernet, Token Ring, and SDLC.
Configuration of the CNA-8000 is achieved by means of a secure web browser interface
(HTTPS). You must modify the configuration for your own network requirements. You
can browse to the unit from a PC or you can directly attach a monitor, keyboard, and
mouse directly to the platform and configure it from there. The CNA-8000 ships with a
default configuration including a default IP address. To attach from a PC, the IP interface
can be modified by editing or creating a text file (FEP4600.ini) located on a 3.5” floppy
(supplied with the base unit) using a PC, and inserting this file into the floppy drive of the
CNA-8000, prior to booting. Once booted, you can connect across the network to make
further customization.
Once configured, the CNA-8000 is capable of running independently, without human
intervention. That is, if power is lost and regained, it will automatically boot back into
service using the stored configuration. You can manage the platform using the same
secure web browser connection from anywhere. Multiple management console interfaces
are supported by the CNA-8000, making it ideal for remote disaster recovery operations.
This manual is broken down into the following functional areas:
Environmental and hardware requirements
Use of the browser interface for viewing status and performing normal tasks
Hardware Replacement Procedures

Chapter 1. Safety Information and Technical
Specifications
Electrical Safety Guidelines
Warning: To avoid electrical shock, check the power cords as follows:
Checking the Power Cords
Use the exact type of power cords as required.
Be sure to use power cord(s) that came with safety
certifications.
The power cord(s) must be compliant with the AC voltage
requirements in your region.
The power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating
that is at least 125% of the electrical current rating of this
product.
The power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on
the power supply must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female
connector.
Be sure to disconnect the power supply before accessing the
server or its components.
Plug the power cord(s) into a socket that is properly grounded
before turning on the power.
Warning: Follow the guidelines below to avoid possible damages to the
system or injury to yourself.
General Electrical Safety Guidelines
Be aware of the locations of the power switches on the chassis
and in the room, so you can disconnect the power supply if an
accident occurs.
Take extra precautionary measures when working with high
voltage components. It is not recommended to work alone.
Before removing or installing main system components, be
sure to disconnect the power first. Turn off the system before
you disconnect the power source.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical
equipment to avoid possible electrical shock.
Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators
when working with computer systems.
The power supply or power cord must include a grounding

Chapter 1. Safety Information and Spec
1-2 707157-001
plug and must be plugged into grounded outlets.
Motherboard Battery: CAUTION -Make sure not to install
the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible
explosion. Make sure that the positive side is facing up on the
motherboard. This battery must be replaced only with the same
or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - To avoid injury do not open
the enclosures of power supplies or DVD ROM.
General Safety Guidelines
Warning: Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the server clean and free of clutter.
To avoid injuries to the back, be sure to use your leg muscles,
keep your back straight, and bend your knees, when lifting the
system.
After removing the components or chassis covers from the
system, place them on a table for safeguard.
Avoid wearing loose clothing to prevent coming into contact
with moving parts.
Be sure to remove any jewelry or metal objects before working
on the chassis to avoid short circuits should these objects come
into contact with power circuits.
After accessing the interior of the chassis, be sure to close the
chassis with chassis covers and secure the chassis to the racks
with screws.
ESD Safety Guidelines
Warning: Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic
components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is
important to handle it very carefully. The following measures
are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static
discharge.
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their
antistatic bags until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board
from the antistatic bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your
clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a
wrist strap.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board
from the antistatic bag.

CNA-8000 Users Guide and Maintenance Manual
707157-001 1-3
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components,
peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis
provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the
case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
Operation Safety Guidelines
Warning: For proper cooling, make sure to install all chassis covers
before turning on the system. If this rule is not strictly
followed, warranty may become void. Do not open the casing
of a power supply. Power supplies can only be accessed and
serviced by a qualified technician of the manufacturer.
To avoid personal injury and property damage, please carefully follow
all the safety steps listed below:
Before accessing the chassis:
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server.
2. Press the power button to power off the system.
3. Unplug all power cords from the system or the wall outlets.
4. Disconnect all the cables and label the cables for easy
identification.
5. Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge
when handling components.
Removing the chassis covers:
After completing the above steps, you can remove the covers and install
components/peripheral devices into the chassis as described in Chapter
7.
1. Unlock and remove the screws and fasteners to remove the cover
or components.
2. Save all the screws and fasteners for later use. (If necessary, label
these screws or fasteners for easy identification.)
3. Follow the instructions given in Chapter 6 to remove the chassis
covers.
Reinstalling the chassis covers:
To maintain proper system cooling and airflow, do not operate the
system without installing all chassis covers back to the chassis. To
reinstall the chassis covers, please follow the steps listed below:
1. Make sure that all components and devices are securely fastened

Chapter 1. Safety Information and Spec
1-4 707157-001
on the chassis and there are no loose parts/screws inside the
chassis.
2. Make sure that all cables are properly connected to the connectors
and ports.
3. Use the original screws or fasteners to install the covers to the
chassis.
4. Be sure to lock to the chassis or the system to prevent unauthorized
access.
5. For proper cooling, enclose the chassis with covers before
operating the system.
Before installing the chassis into a rack:
1. Make sure that the rack is securely anchored onto a unmovable
surface or structure before installing the chassis into the rack.
2. Unplug the power cord(s) of the rack before installing the chassis
into the rack.
3. Make sure that the system is adequately supported. Make sure that
all the components are securely fastened to the chassis to prevent
components falling off from the chassis.
4. Be sure to install an AC Power Disconnect for the entire rack
assembly and this Power Disconnect must be clearly marked.
5. The rack assembly shall be properly grounded to avoid electric
shock.
6. The rack assembly must provide sufficient airflow to the chassis
for proper cooling.
