10 MergePoint 5224/5240 Service Processor Manager Installer and Administrator Guide
Connecting Devices
The 24 or 40 Ethernet ports on the left side of the rear of the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager
are for private connections to SPs or other devices.
CAUTION: To comply with FCC and CE certification requirements, use shielded cables when connecting
devices to the private Ethernet ports.
To prepare to connect devices:
1. Make sure all configuration is complete on devices to be connected.
2. For the device to use remote authentication, make sure that the following prerequisite
configuration is complete:
• Authentication servers are installed and fully configured
• You have obtained from each authentication server’s administrator the information (such
as the IP address), which is needed to configure the authentication server on the
SP manager
NOTE: After the SP manager is installed, make sure to configure the desired authentication method for
each device, unless authentication is being managed by DSView 3 management software.
To connect devices to the private Ethernet ports:
Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the private Ethernet ports on the SP manager to any of the
following types of Ethernet ports on the other end:
• A dedicated Ethernet port on an SP
• A dedicated Ethernet port on a router or other device that gives access to the device’s console
• A switch that is connected to multiple devices (not recommended)
• A dedicated Ethernet port on a blade managing multiple SPs
Connecting to a Power Source and Powering Up
When the MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager has two power supplies, connect each power supply
to a separate power source for redundancy in case one power source fails. The power sources must
be independent of each other and must be controlled by separate circuit breakers.
To connect AC power inlets to an AC power source and power up:
1. Make sure the SP manager’s power switch(es) are off.
2. Plug the power cord(s) into the SP manager and plug the other end(s) into an appropriate
grounded power source(s).
NOTE: On dual AC models, plug the power cords into separate power sources.
3. Power up the SP manager.
