2 Hardware Installation Summary

Installing the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (OECB) in your rack requires the steps summarized below. This checklist is only an overview. It is not designed to substitute for following the detailed procedures in the hardware installation guides.

If running the OECB as a virtual application, refer to the hardware vendor's installation instructions for hardware to learn how to access the software while it boots. From a console connection, there is little difference to the way successful startup appears as an appliance versus a virtual machine.

  1. Unpack the OECB.
  2. Install the OECB into your rack.
  3. Install power supplies.
  4. Install fan modules.
  5. Install physical interface cards.
  6. Cable the OECB.

    Make sure you complete installation procedures fully and note the safety warnings to prevent physical harm to yourself and/or damage to your OECB.

    After you complete the hardware installation procedures, establish a connection to the OECB. Then load the OECB software image you want to use and establish basic operating parameters.
