Management Path - network connection
There are two 1 Gb/s Ethernet RJ-45 ports on the rear panel for connection to an
Ethernet network. After logging in to the operating system as administrator, you can
change the network settings.
To connect the server to a local Ethernet for management, follow these steps:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the network connector or standard
NIC in the Host PC.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard
network switch.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard net-
work switch.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port (1000 BASE-T)
on the back of the server (See “I/O ports on the rear panel” on page 21).
First time setup - use keyboard and monitor to access OS
Use a USB or PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor to establish a direction connection to
the Windows operating system. All the I/O ports needed to do this are located on the
rear panel. Connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the appropriate port and you
will be ready to login after the server has booted up.
See “Task 6: Login to Windows” for instructions on how to login as administrator to the
Windows OS user interface.
