BEFORE INSTALLING CPU BLADE

Be sure to check the MAC addresses before installing a CPU blade in the Blade Enclosure.

Check of MAC Address

A MAC address indicates the address specific for the network. It is expressed by 12-digit
alphanumeric starting with "003013". A CPU blade has two MAC addresses. Check the MAC
addresses before installing a CPU blade in the Blade Enclosure.
A MAC address is indicated in the area as shown in the figure below.
The address of LAN port depends on the numeral and alphabet of the last digit of MAC address.
When the numeral/alphabet of the last digit is even number, A, C, or E:
The MAC address for LAN port 1 is as described on the label.
The MAC address for LAN port 2 can be obtained by adding 1 to the described MAC
address.
When the numeral/alphabet of the last digit is odd number, B, D, or F:
The MAC address for LAN port 1 can be obtained by adding 1 to the described MAC
address.
The MAC address for LAN port 2 can be obtained by adding 2 to the described MAC
address.
The MAC addresses can be checked from the proper Windows or Linux command.
Windows
Enter "ipconfig /all" for the MS-DOS prompt or from [Run] in the Start menu to see the
indicated physical address part.
Linux
Enter "ifconfig" for the prompt to see the indicated "Hwaddr".
You may use the remote control feature of EXPRESSSCOPE Engine 2 (BMC) to check the MAC
address.
