Pre-Installation Checklist; Rack Mounting The Mpx110 - HP StorageWorks 6100 - Enterprise Virtual Array User Manual

Pre-installation checklist

Before starting the configuration process, contact your System Administrator for the following mpx110
parameters:
• Symbolic Name of the mpx110
• IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the mpx110 management port (if not using DHCP)
• IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the GE1 port
• IP address of the remote mpx110 that connects to the GE1 port
• IP address, subnet mask and gateway for the GE2 port (if applicable)
• IP address of the remote mpx110 that connects to the GE2 port (if applicable)
• FCIP link parameters (specifically, Guaranteed Bandwidth, Round-Trip-Delay, Quality Of Service,
and VLAN/Priority)
For more information, see
• mpx110 serial console cable adapter
• HP StorageWorks mpx Manager software (optional)
• The default TCP port used by the mpx110 is 3225. To ensure that the FCIP link is formed correctly,
make sure that any firewalls have port 3225 unblocked before connecting the mpx110s.

Rack mounting the mpx110

You need a Phillips head screwdriver in order to rack mount the mpx110. You also need to make
sure that the operating temperature inside the rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated
ambient temperature (70° C), especially if the mpx110 is mounted in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly.
1. Assemble two slide brackets (right and left) on the back ends of the C-Shelf, using the four hole
nut plates:
NOTE:
The rear of the C-Shelf is the end without the knurled thumbscrews.
a. Mount the C-Shelf with the open side up.
b. Fit the slide bracket along the 1U side at the back of the C-Shelf with its screw hole tab
pointing outboard and its lip supporting the C-Shelf. Mount both right-hand and left-hand
slide brackets.
c. Attach the nut plate outside the slide bracket with the dimpled threaded holes pointing out-
board.
d. Place two screws (10-32 Pan 0.625 XRCS) through the two holes at the back of the C-Shelf,
through the slide plate slots and loosely into the front two threaded holes of the nut plate.
e. Repeat steps a through d with the opposite hand slide bracket.
2. Install the C-Shelf assembly into the rack:
a. Locate a clear 1U area space within the rack.
