Connecting the hardware

1. Power connector
3. LAN port 2 connector
Figure 11 Network and power connectors
1. Use the supplied power cord to connect the HP D2D Backup System to the main power supply. This
HP-approved cord is appropriate for your specific geographic region.
For detailed safety information, see the Safety Guide on the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System
CD-ROM.
2. Use any CAT-5E network cable (also supplied with the product) to connect to a Gigabit network
switch. 100 Base-T Ethernet will limit performance; 10 Base-T Ethernet will severely limit performance.

NOTE:
The Web Management Interface is used to configure devices and it requires an Ethernet connection.
LAN Port 1 (the lower LAN port on the rear of the HP D2D) must always be connected.
NOTE:
The HP D2D also supports direct connection of a monitor and keyboard. Please refer to

IPv4 and IPv6 network protocols

The HP D2D supports both IPv4 and IPv6. Setup and configuration will default to IPv4, if the
network is configured to support it. On an IPv6–only network, it is normally sufficient to enter
the IPv6 MAC Address (found on the label on the top of the unit) when running the Installation
Wizard. However, if this does not work, you can use the system console, as described in
"Using the system console to discover the HP

Dual network ports

The two physical network ports provide three network configuration modes:
• Single Port Configuration: The HP D2D is connected to one network only; only one network port
is used (Port 1).
• Dual Port Configuration: The HP D2D is connected to two different networks. Both network ports
are used.
