SNC 450x User’s Guide 7
Getting Started
This chapter describes how to install the SNC 450x and how to configure the serial port and the Ethernet
management port. It also contains information about SCSI device cabling and Ethernet data port cabling.
Before Installing the SNC
Before you begin installing the SNC 450x, be sure to check or complete the following:
• If you are managing your iSCSI system across a WAN and your system uses a firewall, be sure that
the following ports are open and available:
If you are using the TCP protocol
• telnet (port 23)
• http (port 80)
• ftp (ports 20 and 21)
• iscsi (port 3260)
• iSNS (port 3705)
If you are using the UDP protocol
• ntp (port 123)
• SNMP (port 161)
• Be sure your host system is set up and configured.
• Your host system can use any of three different types of cards: a network interface card (NIC),
a TCP/IP offload engine card (TOE), or a storage network interface card (SNIC).
• Obtain the SNC driver file, "SNC Null Driver for Windows 200X", from www.adic.com . Unpack
the ZIP file to a temporary directory on your host. Follow the directions to install the driver in the
Readme.txt
file or, after you have installed the SNC and the host posts a message saying it
has located an unknown system device, point the host at the SNC device driver.
For more information about preparing your system, refer to iSCSI Performance Tuning on page 107.
CAUTION
It is recommended that you configure host access through a switch.
