Step 5
IMPORTANT: The speed/duplex setting of the Ethernet ports on a appliance defaults to
autonegotiate. The networking switch or hub to which the appliance is connected must
also be configured to autonegotiate; otherwise, network throughput or connectivity to the
appliance may be seriously impacted.
All cabling ports, power connections, and exhaust vents are located on the appliance
rear panel.
Attach the cables as follows:
1.
Place the unit on the
secure surface
where it will reside.
2.
Connect Ethernet 1 to a
network
.
Using a Category 5e (or better) cable, connect Ethernet 1 on the appliance to a
Gigabit Ethernet switch on the same LAN as the host system used to manage the
SnapServer appliance.
3.
If desired, plug a second
network cable
into Ethernet 2.
NOTE: To take advantage of network bonding (load balancing or failover), both data ports
(Ethernet 1 and 2) must be physically connected to the network. For load balancing,
connect them to the same switch on the same subnet with the switch set to autonegotiate.
For failover, connect them to different switches on the same subnet.
4.
If attaching an
RDX Removable Disk
, follow the instructions that came with
the product, using the blue USB 3.0 ports.
5.
Attach the power cord to the
AC power
socket on the appliance.
6.
Plug the
power cord
into a UPS appliance or a properly grounded AC power
source.
