Step 9: Connect And Configure Options - NEC N8800-164F User Manual

Step 9: Connect and Configure Options

If there is any optional PCI board or peripheral equipment to connect to NEC Express5800/ft series,
turn off the power to NEC Express5800/ft series, and connect it according to the "PCI board" in
User's Guide and the device's instruction.
Immediately after the installation completes, network configuration for a port is duplicated. When
you change the network configuration or configure the duplication setting by adding a LAN card, it
is necessary to configure the settings from vSphere Client.
For NEC Express5800/ft series, network interface names are based on the naming convention as
described in the table below. Network duplication is achieved by pairing network interfaces of PCI
slots in CPU/IO module 0 and network interfaces in the same PCI slots in CPU/IO module 1 (i.e.
two network interfaces are bound to a switch).

For detailed procedures, refer to the User's Guide packaged with this guide and the ESX
Configuration Guide of VMware vSphere.
To have enough time to initialize Fibre Channel disk and Fibre Channel switch and so on,
adjust [Server] - [Power On Delay Time] by setting System BIOS configuration Utility.
