Installation
Rack Compatibility
Nearly all standard four-post 19” server racks meeting EIA-310 specifications are
compatible with the DXi6500 and DXi6700 rack mount kits. Rack cabinets meeting
EIA-310 specifications have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with
center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm,
15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back
vertical rails. For detailed information, refer to the
Quantum DXi6500 and DXi6700
User's Guide
(PN 6-66639).
Note: The rack mounting rails extend to support rack depths from 26.5 to 36.4 inches
(67.3 to 92.4 cm).
When planning your rack installation, be sure to consider leaving room in the rack for
future system expansion. You can expand the storage capacity of the DXi6500 and
DXi6700 (some configurations) by adding up to six expansion modules.
See
Physical Characteristics on page 13 for node and expansion module rack space
requirements.
DXi6500 and DXi6700
Setup and
Configuration
After hardware has been installed and initially configured, you are ready to use your
DXi6500 and DXi6700. The remote management Web pages allow you to reconfigure
your DXi6500 and DXi6700 at any time.
Required Network Information
To utilize the remote management pages of the DXi6500 and DXi6700, you must
connect it to your network.
Note the following considerations:
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not supported.You must provide a
static IP address at the time of installation.
• The default IP Address is: 10.1.1.1
You and other administrative users can always return to the remote management pages
to modify all DXi6500 and DXi6700 settings, including network settings. Refer to the
DXi6500 and DXi6700 User’s Guide
included on the Quick Reference and
Documentation CD for additional information on initially configuring your DXi6500 and
DXi6700.
Network Segmentation
Network segmentation provides the ability to split your network into subnetworks or
segments. There are two main purposes for segmenting your network:
• Separate Physical Interfaces - If your network is physically partitioned with no
connectivity between the partitions, the DXi6500 and DXi6700 needs the ability to
communicate with each partition individually.
