Ethernet Hub
The HAFM appliance and managed directors and switches can be connected
through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hub. Figure 16 illustrates the 12-port hub. The
hub can be ordered from HP and is installed at the top front of the equipment rack.

Remote User Workstations
Operators at remote workstations with the client HAFM application installed can
connect to the HAFM appliance to manage and monitor all directors and switches
controlled by the server. A maximum of 25 concurrent remote users (plus the
local HAFM appliance user) can log in to the HAFM application. The client
application downloads and installs to remote workstations (from the HAFM
appliance) using a standard Web browser. The applications operate on platforms
that meet the following minimum system requirements:
■ Desktop or notebook PC with color monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using an
Intel Pentium® III processor with a 1 GHz or greater clock speed and using
the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (with service pack 3), Windows
NT 4.0 (with service pack 6a), or Windows XP (with service pack 1a).
■ Unix workstation with color monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using a:
— Linux-based system using an Intel Pentium III processor with a 1 GHz or
greater clock speed, using the Red Hat® 7.3 or higher operating system.
— Hewlett-Packard® PA-RISC® processor with a 400 MHz or greater clock
speed, using the HP-UX® 11.0a or higher operating system.
— Sun® Microsystems UltraSPARC™ IIi or later processor, using Solaris™
Version 7.0 or higher operating system.
— IBM POWER3-II™ microprocessor with a 333 MHz or greater clock
speed, using the AIX Version 4.3.3 or higher operating system.
■ At least 350 MB available on the internal hard drive.
■ 512 MB or greater RAM.
