Step 3: Connecting the Ethernet Cables

The front panel of the SWAN concentrator contains two RJ-45, 10Base-T, twisted-pair

Ethernet ports, which are used to connect the SWAN concentrator to an Integrity

NonStop BladeSystem, Integrity NonStop NS-series, or NonStop S-series system.

•

For the NonStop BladeSystems, Ethernet connections can be made directly to

G4SAs or indirectly through Ethernet switches or routers.

•

For the NonStop NS-series, Ethernet connections can be made directly to G4SAs

or indirectly through Ethernet switches or routers.

•

For the NonStop S-series, Ethernet connections can be made directly to E4SAs,

FESAs, GESAs, or G4SAs installed in an I/O adapter module (IOAM) enclosure or

indirectly through Ethernet switches or routers.

A direct connection to a LAN adapter is described in Connecting the Ethernet Cables

Directly to the LAN Adapters on page 2-14. Indirect connection to Ethernet switches or

routers is described in Connect the SWAN Concentrators to LAN Adapters Using an

Ethernet Switch or Router on page 2-14.

Figure 2-6 shows Ethernet ports A and B on the front panel of the SWAN concentrator.

Make sure that the Ethernet cables connected to Ethernet ports A and B on a SWAN

concentrator are connected to the correct ports on the adapters as shown in the

illustrations on the following pages.

If you ordered your SWAN concentrator with a NonStop BladeSystem, NonStop

NS-series or NonStop S-series system, the adapters and the adapter ports used to

connect the SWAN concentrator are preconfigured by HP manufacturing.
