3.4.5 General Configuration Items

Management Network Port

Changing the IP address of a management network port will result in networkdisconnection. Perform this operation with caution.

The IP address of a management network port cannot reside on the same network segment

as that of a shared network port. Otherwise, the network connection will fail.

Go to the Management Network Portpage.

Only users in the AdministratorsandOperatorsgroups are allowed to configure management networkports.

On the Management Network Portpage, you can:

Enable or disable the management network port

Set the IPv4 address acquisition method, IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway

of the management network port

Set the IPv6 address acquisition method, IPv6 address, prefix length, and defaultgateway of the management network port

After completing the settings, click OK.

DNS

Go to the DNSpage.

Domain name system (DNS) is a core service of the Internet, which maps a domain name toan IP address to let users access a network using the domain name instead of the IP address.

If the system was on before the power-off, the system turns on after the power is

turned on.

If the system is off before the power-off, the system remains in the off state after thepower is turned on.

System Boot Option

Go to the System Boot Optionpage.

On the System Boot Optionpage, you can set the first boot device of the server withoutentering the BIOS.

The first boot device options include HDD, CD/DVD, Floppy/primary removable media,PXE, and No override. This setting takes effect only once. After the system restarts, this

setting is invalidated.

HDD:boots the system from the disk.

CD/DVD:boots the system from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

Floppy/primary removable media: boots the system from the floppy drive or removable device.

PXE: boots the system from the preboot execution environment (PXE).

No override: boots the system in BIOS default mode.

4.4.3 Powering On or Off a SAN Storage Device

Power on a system in the following order: cabinet disk enclosure (waiting until it iscompletely powered on) controller enclosure (by pressing the Power button on either

controller) switch (if any) application server

Power off a system in the following order: stopping services on application servers pressing the Power button on either controller disconnecting the controller enclosure and

disk enclosures from the external power

Before powering on a system, ensure that it is properly grounded. For details, see S2600T or

S5500T Series Storage System Quick Installation Guide.
