3.9 Connecting to the xStack Storage Management Port Connecting a PC to the xStack Storage management port lets you configure and manage the xStack Storage Array. This procedure requires a PC with an installed NIC and an appropriately configured Ethernet cable. To connect the PC directly to the xStack Storage management port, use a cross-over cable. To connect the PC to the xStack Storage Array using a hub or switch, use a straight-through cable. To connect to the xStack Storage management port, use the following procedure. 1. Connect either end of an Ethernet cable to a NIC installed in the PC that will be used to manage and monitor the xStack Storage unit. 2. Connect the other end of the cable into the xStack Storage Mgmt Ethernet port. Facing the back of the xStack Storage unit, the management port is the rightmost RJ-45 connector: - To view this port on the xStack DSN-3200, see Figure 2-9 on page 23. - To view this port on the xStack DSN-3400, see Error! Reference source not found. on page 25. If you want to configure the xStack Storage Array for email alert notifications, be sure the management port can communicate via Ethernet with your mail server. xStack Storage management and data activities must be separate. This means you cannot connect the same NIC to the management and host network connection ports. Rather, one NIC must connect to the management port and a different NIC, either in the same PC or a different PC, must connect to the host network connection port(s). 32 Chapter 3 Installing the xStack Storage Array

Connecting to the xStack Storage Management Port
Connecting a PC to the xStack Storage management port lets you configure and manage the xStack
Storage Array. This procedure requires a PC with an installed NIC and an appropriately configured
Ethernet cable.
°
To connect the PC directly to the xStack Storage management port, use a cross-over cable.
°
To connect the PC to the xStack Storage Array using a hub or switch, use a straight-through
cable.
To connect to the xStack Storage management port, use the following procedure.
1.
Connect either end of an Ethernet cable to a NIC installed in the PC that will be used to manage and
monitor the xStack Storage unit.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable into the xStack Storage
Mgmt Ethernet
port. Facing the back of
the xStack Storage unit, the management port is the rightmost RJ-45 connector:

page 25.
If you want to configure the xStack Storage Array for email alert
notifications, be sure the management port can communicate via Ethernet
with your mail server.
xStack Storage management and data activities must be separate. This
means you cannot connect the same NIC to the management and host
network connection ports. Rather, one NIC must connect to the management
port and a different NIC, either in the same PC or a different PC, must
connect to the host network connection port(s).
