The primary system console is the system console installed in the setup configuration.
Switch 1 is the switch installed in the setup configuration.
The backup system console and Switch 2 are added for fault tolerance. You can add a
backup system console and switch to the setup configuration online. Do not add a
backup system console until you have completed Setup Configuration on page 10-2.
The Ethernet switches or hubs are linked by a cable that enables the system consoles
and server to be on the same subnet. This cable connects the cascade port of one
switch to an open port on the other switch.
1. If the backup system console is not unpacked, see Unpacking and Assembling a
System Console on page 5-2.
2. Start and test the backup system console. See Starting and Testing a System
Console on page 5-8.
3. Change the IP address and host name for the backup system console. Because all
system consoles are shipped with the same default IP address and computer
name, you must modify the IP address and host name for the backup system
console so that they do not conflict with those of the primary system console:
a. Select Start>Settings>Control Panel.
b. Double-click the Network icon.
The Network dialog box appears.
c. Click the Protocols tab.
d. In the Network Protocols box, double-click TCP/IP Protocol.
The Microsoft TCP/IP Properties dialog box appears.
e. Select Specify an IP address and enter:
f. Click the DNS tab.
g. In the Host Name field, change the default name.
You can change it to anything that does not conflict with the host name used by
another workstation already on the LAN. For example, if the default name is
NONAME, you can change the name to NONAME1 or NONAME2.
h. Click OK to return to the Network dialog box.
i. Click OK to return to the Control Panel window.
j. Select Start > Shut Down.
