AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a NetWare Server
37
Connecting the Storage-System Management Ports
CAUTION
!
Press the power button only briefly to power up the storage system.
Pressing the power button for more than four seconds while the
storage system powers up may affect initialization parameters.
If You Need to Power Down the Storage System
For an orderly storage-system shutdown that protects your cache
data, use the storage-system power button (
not
the UPS power
switch). The storage system takes a full minute to power down
after
you press the power button. So after powering down the storage
system, wait one minute before powering it on again. If
storage-system power is turned off by the power button or by a
software shutdown, you must press the power button to re-apply
power. If you power down the storage system by unplugging the
power cord, the storage system powers up as soon as it is reconnected
to the ac power source.
Connecting the Storage-System Management Ports
Read this section if you are installing a
new
storage system.
You manage the storage system from a management host, which can
be a server that has access to the management ports over a specified
10/100 LAN. In addition, when you first set up the storage system,
you must initialize it from a host, which can be a server, connected to
the same network subnet as the storage-system management ports.
The management ports are located on the rear of the chassis and
labeled 10/100.
Before You Start
To complete this procedure, you need a standard CAT 5 or higher
LAN cable for the management port on each storage-system SP that
you will connect to the 10/100 LAN.
