LAN Cable Connection (for Operation Management)

LAN Cable Connection (for Operation Management)
The ETERNUS DX must be connected to a LAN to perform actions via ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUS CLI such as
settings, maintenance operations, monitoring the device status, and using remote support.
Prepare the required number of LAN cables for the network environment of the customer.
The following procedure explains how to connect the LAN cable.
Caution
When the LAN switch that is to be used has the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) function enabled, connection
to the ETERNUS DX may fail. Use the following settings to disable the STP function:
• When the STP function is not necessary for the network configuration:
Disable the STP function of the LAN switch.
• When the STP function is necessary for the network configuration:
Disable the STP function of the LAN switch port only for the ETERNUS DX connection or perform the Port-
Fast setting.
IMPORTANT
• To help with LAN cable management and prevent incorrect connections, attach labels to the LAN cables
and make a note of connection origins and destinations.
• When connecting LAN cables, check the connector orientation and then firmly push it all the way in.
When disconnecting LAN cables, depress the tab, then pull out the connector.
Note
This section uses a controller enclosure with two controllers as an example to explain the connection
procedure. When one controller is installed, this procedure is only applied to Controller 0 (CM#0).

Connect the LAN cable to the ETERNUS DX.
Connect the LAN cable connectors to the MNT ports of the Controller 0 (CM#0) and Controller 1 (CM#1) for
the ETERNUS DX.
• When connecting the LAN cables, position them so that they will not
obstruct replacement of the power supply unit or controllers by the
maintenance engineer.
