Connecting remote management hosts
The management host directly manages systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network management port on each MSA 1050 controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access (preferably on the
same subnet).
NOTE: Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables—grounded at both ends—with metallic RFI/EMI
connector hoods, in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations.
