HP IP Distance Gateway - Manual (Page 34)

Pre-installation checklist
Before starting the configuration process, contact your System Administrator for the following
mpx110 parameters:
•
Symbolic Name of the mpx110
•
IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the mpx110 management port (if not using DHCP)
•
IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the GE1 port
•
IP address of the remote mpx110 that connects to the GE1 port
•
IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the GE2 port (if applicable)
•
IP address of the remote mpx110 that connects to the GE2 port (if applicable)
•
FCIP link parameters (specifically, Guaranteed Bandwidth, Round-Trip-Delay, Quality Of
Service, and VLAN/Priority)
For more information, see (page 41) .
•
mpx110 serial console cable adapter
•
HP mpx Manager software (optional)
•
The default TCP port used by the mpx110 is 3225. To ensure that the FCIP link is formed
correctly, make sure that any firewalls have port 3225 unblocked before connecting the
mpx110s.
Rack mounting the mpx110
WARNING! Mount the mpx100/100b in the rack so that the weight is evenly distributed. An
unevenly loaded rack can become unstable possibly resulting in equipment damage or personal
injury.
This product is supplied with a three-wire cable and plug for the user's safety. Use this power cable
in a properly grounded outlet to avoid electrical shock. An electrical outlet that is not correctly
wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the switch chassis. It is the responsibility
of the customer to ensure the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent electrical shock.
If the chassis is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the ambient temperature, Be sure to install the chassis in an
environment that is compatible with the maximum ambient rated temperature.
You need a Phillips head screwdriver to rack mount the mpx110. You also need to make sure that
the operating temperature inside the rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient
temperature (70° C), especially if the mpx110 is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly.
1. Assemble two slide brackets (right and left) on the back ends of the C-Shelf, using the four
hole nut plates:
NOTE: The rear of the C-Shelf is the end without the knurled thumbscrews.
a. Mount the C-Shelf with the open side up.
b. Fit the slide bracket along the 1U side at the back of the C-Shelf with its screw hole tab
pointing outboard and its lip supporting the C-Shelf. Mount both right-hand and left-hand
slide brackets.
c. Attach the nut plate outside the slide bracket with the dimpled threaded holes pointing
outboard.
