2. Use any CAT-5E network cable (also supplied with the product) to connect to a Gigabit network
switch. 100 Base-T Ethernet will limit performance; 10 Base-T Ethernet will severely limit
performance. See also “Dual network ports” on page 37.
NOTE:
The Web Management Interface is used to configure devices and it requires an Ethernet connection.
LAN Port 1 (the lower LAN port on the rear of the HP D2D) must always be connected, even if you
are using the FC ports to back up and restore data to the HP D2D.
NOTE:
The HP D2D also supports direct connection of a monitor and keyboard. Please refer to
“Using the system console to discover the HP D2D” on page 56 for more information about this.
