PRIMERGY BX600 Management Blade Hardware Guide
1
Connect the management terminal and Management Blade using a LAN cable
according to the network to be used.
1. Connect the LAN cable to the Management Blade.
Attach the connector of the LAN cable to the
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port of the
Management Blade.
2. Connect the LAN cable to a hub or router.
Connect the other end of the LAN cable to a hub or router connected to the management
terminal.
2
Activate the Web browser in the management terminal.
For more details about supported Web browsers, refer to "4.1 Accessing Web Interface" (
3
Access the Web UI of the Management Blade from the Web browser.
Access the Web UI using default value (IP address:192.168.1.1/ subnet mask: 255. 255.255.0) if it
is the initial setting.
For the access procedures, refer to "4.1 Accessing Web Interface" (
The LAN ports of the Management Blade can be set to 10Mbps full duplex/ 10Mbps
half duplex/ 100Mbps full duplex/ 100Mbps half duplex/ auto-negotiation. If connected
to a port within the same network that has a different speed, the performance of the
LAN transfer function will deteriorate. For example, the speed of all the ports is
matched to that of the slowest port when using the IGMP function with no hub to
perform broadcast or multicast communication.
When using a Management Blade with a redundant configuration, connect the LAN
cable to both the master and slave Management Blades using a hub etc. If a fatal error
occurs in the master Management Blade, because the communication path is
automatically changed by a Management Blade that changed from slave to master,
management/operation via a LAN interface can be continued without changing the
connection (the communication path change takes about 30 seconds). However, if LAN
communications are stopped due to NIC failure or LAN cable disconnection in the
Management Blade, the Management Blade changeover to master will not occur and
management /operation via LAN interface will cease. Even in this case, when
managing/operating via LAN interface is required, refer to "
p.94) and enable the status monitoring function of the LAN interface. By
forcibly changing the master, management/operation can continue.
