HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity User Guide (5697-0511, August 2010)

Power requirements
Power requirements for the mpx100/100b are 0.5 Amp at 100 VAC or 0.25 A at 240 VAC.
Environmental conditions
Consider the factors that affect the climate in your facility, such as equipment heat dissipation and
ventilation. The mpx100/100b requires the following operating conditions:
• Operating temperature range: 5°–40° C (41°–104° F)
• Relative humidity: 15–80%, noncondensing
Connecting the server to the mpx100/100b
You can manage the mpx100/100b using the HP StorageWorks mpx Manager or the CLI. HP
StorageWorks mpx Manager requires an Ethernet connection to the mpx100/100b management
port. The CLI uses either an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Choose the mpx100/100b
management method, then connect the management server to the mpx100/100b in one of the
following ways:
• Indirect Ethernet connection from the management server to the mpx100/100b RJ-45 connector
through an Ethernet switch or hub.
• Direct Ethernet connection from the management server to the mpx100/100b RJ-45 Ethernet
connector.
• Serial port connection from management workstation to the mpx100/100b RS-232 serial port
connector. This requires a 10/100 Base-T straight cable and a dongle.
Configuring the server
If you plan to use the CLI to configure and manage the mpx100/100b, you must configure the server
appropriately. This involves either setting the server IP address for Ethernet connections, or configuring
the server's serial port.
If you plan to use HP StorageWorks mpx Manager to manage the mpx100/100b, see “Install the
management application” on page 59.
Setting the server IP address
The IP address of a new mpx100/100b is 10.0.0.1\255.0.0.0. To ensure that your server is
configured to communicate with the 10.0.0 subnet, see the following instructions for your server.
To set the server address for a Windows server:
1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections.
2. Select Make New Connection.
3. Click Connect to a private network through the Internet, and then click Next.
4. Enter 10.0.0.253 for the IP address.
Configuring the server serial port
