2-6 HP Netserver AA Solution Installation Guide
Cabling the Endurance Server
After Installing the Adapters in the CEs , connect the cables:
Step Action Notes
1 Remove the plugs from the cable
sockets on the MIC and the protective
covers from the cables.
2 Connect the cables supplied in the
Endurance kit.
See Table 2-1
.
When attaching MIC cables, firmly seat the
connectors, and push the cable assembly in
firmly until it locks with a slight click.
Make sure that the CEs and IOPs are powered
on and the cable ends are plugged in. Then
verify that the LED adjacent to each connector
transitions to green.
3 Cable your network connection to each
IOP:
a. Attach an Ethernet cable (that you
provide) to the IOP’s network
adapter.
b. Connect the cable to your network
connection.
Both IOPs must be directly connected to the
same local area network.
Make sure the Ethernet cable is:
• Compatible with the network cards that are in
use in IOP1 — 100 BASE-T (Twisted Pair) or
1.0 Gigabit (Fiber or Twisted Pair).
• The proper electrical specification (for
example, category 5 if 100 BASE-T).
If a smart HUB or Ethernet Switch is being used
as the Endurance server Ethernet rail
connection point:
• At the switch configuration level, enable
"Spanning Tree Protocol," or the equivalent
802.1d bridging protocol feature on each port
that will be connected to the Endurance
server.
• Set the correct port speed and duplex mode
(example 100Mbs/Full duplex) for each port
that will be connected to the Endurance
server. Do not select any Auto-detection
settings.
• If a "Fast Start" or equivalent parameter is
available, enable this feature for each port
that will be connected to the Endurance
server. This minimizes potential delays in
Ethernet fail-over performance.
