5-6 Compaq Server Console Switch User Guide
Assigning Unique Names to Computers
You may find it easier to identify the computers in a system by name, rather
than by port number. For example, in a network environment, you can assign
the same names as those assigned by the network for each computer. To list
the computers by name in the Simplified OSD menus, see the section,
“Changing Menu Attributes.”
NOTE: Before you can assign names to computers attached to a secondary switch, you
must first associate the secondary device with a port. See the section, “Assigning Specific
Device Types.”
To assign unique names to computers:
1. In the Advanced Menus screen, move the highlight to the Setup menu.
2. Highlight Names and press Enter; the Port Name Setup screen appears.

3. Select the port number for which you want to enter or change a
computer name.
4. Type a name for the computer.
Computer names may be up to 12 characters long, including only A-Z, 0-9,
and the dash character. Lowercase letters are converted to uppercase. Press
Backspace to delete an incorrect entry.
5. If necessary, repeat steps 3 and 4 for each computer in the system.
6. Press Enter to save the settings and exit the menu
or
F10 to restore default settings
or
Esc to exit the menu without saving the settings.
