5. You may damage the service partition when configuring the external RAID. It may be necessary to reinstall the service partition and the OS after configuring the RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 1 for service partition installation instructions. Networking Tips 1. When configuring the system with internal network ports NIC1 and NIC2, and no other network port hardware, RHEL AS 2.1 and RHEL 3.0 will assign the values "eth0" to the NIC2 port and "eth1" to the NIC1 port. If additional network hardware has been installed, RHEL AS 2.1 or RHEL 3.0 assigns the "eth_" numerical value to the add-on ports first, and then assigns values to the internal ports. (Example: If a dual-port network card is added to the system, the added ports will be assigned values of "eth0" and "eth1". The NIC2 port would then be assigned the value "eth2" and the NIC1 port would be assigned the value of "eth3". 2. Only the NIC 1 port can be used with ISM. USB Tips 1. The system will boot from a floppy drive. 2. The Resource CD makes reference to a floppy drive. 3. A floppy drive may be used to flash the system, stop a power on/power off loop, transfer a file, and so on. Remote Firmware Update Tips 1. Remote update of firmware requires installation of the ISM. This feature is accessed from the ISM by use of the CSSU SUM operations. Refer to the Intel Server Management (ISM) HP Carrier-Grade Server cc3310 Installation and User's Guide for additional information. ISM Tips 1. Please read the ISM ERRATA for the latest information.

When configuring the system with internal network ports NIC1 and NIC2, and no other network port
hardware, RHEL AS 2.1 and RHEL 3.0 will assign the values “eth0” to the NIC2 port and “eth1” to the
NIC1 port. If additional network hardware has been installed, RHEL AS 2.1 or RHEL 3.0 assigns the
“eth_” numerical value to the add-on ports first, and then assigns values to the internal ports. (Example:
If a dual-port network card is added to the system, the added ports will be assigned values of “eth0” and
“eth1”. The NIC2 port would then be assigned the value “eth2” and the NIC1 port would be assigned the
value of “eth3”.
