Step 3: Connect Power and Network Cables
The server has Dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports that can connect to 10BaseT, 100BaseTx, or 1000BaseT networks. A
dual-port configuration offers added advantages, such as load balancing and failover. You may connect one or
both of the ports.
•
If you connect only one port, you must use the primary port on the back of the server, as shown in the
Hardware Features illustration.
•
To take advantage of network bonding (load balancing or failover), both ports must be physically connected
to the network; and (a) for load balancing, connected to the same switch on the same subnet; or (b) for
failover, connected to different switches on the same subnet (in case one switch fails).
Caution The speed/duplex setting on Snap Servers defaults to autonegotiate. The networking switch or hub
to which the server is connected must also be configured to autonegotiate; otherwise, network throughput or
connectivity to the server may be seriously impacted.
Cabling the Server to the Network
Use the provided Ethernet cables to connect the server to the network. When you connect the network cables to
active ports, the network lights on the bezel (LAN 1 and LAN 2) are green.
Connecting the Power Cord
As a data integrity measure,
Overland Storage strongly
recommends you connect
the server to a UPS. Use the
provided power cord to plug the
module into the UPS or properly
grounded electrical outlet.
Note Snap Servers are designed
to work with APC-brand, USB- or network-based UPS devices to automatically shut down cleanly in the event of
an extended power failure. You must configure the APC unit both in the Snap Server's Administration Tool and in
the APC user interface.
Step 4: Power on the Snap Server
To turn on the server, press the power button on the front of
the server. The server takes a few minutes to initialize.
The status LED will blink once per second when the server is
powered on.
