    2 Workgroup System Tower Pre-installation Procedures This chapter discusses the following pre-installation topics: • Pre-installation procedures (see Section 2.1) • Site recommendations (see Section 2.2) • Power examples (see Section 2.3) 2.1 Pre-installation Procedures HP recommends using an HP approved configurator. Contact an HP sales representative for information on Configure to Order (CTO) product offerings and requirements.

  • Page 22: Power Examples

    2.3 Power Examples There are several power issues to consider before installing a Workgroup System Tower. HP recommends using the HP BladeSystem Power Sizer tool to determine the potential power draw for a Workgroup System Tower configuration. Go to: http://h71019.www7.hp.com/ActiveAnswers/cache/347628-0-0-0-121.html HP also recommends that you consult with your HP sales representative who should be familiar with the HP BladeSystem Power Sizer tool and also review the various power examples available.

    4 Installation and Start-up The Workgroup System Tower is integrated and factory tested before shipment to your site. The operating system software is installed at the factory. To power-on your system after you have inspected the unit, follow these steps: Warning! Be sure that all circuit breakers are locked in the off position before connecting any power components.

  • Page 28: Configuring A Vlan For The Administrative Network

    Note: If your site's network (backbone) cannot handle 1Gb/s, the HP GbE2c Ethernet switch can work at 100Mb/s. The intention is for traffic to the external network to be routed through NIC2 on the control node server blade. Since both of the server blade's connections to the administrative network and the control node’s connection to the external network are through the same switch, the cluster must be configured with a suitable addressing scheme to separate the administrative port addresses (NIC1) from the external network addresses.
