Note

If you have a high-availability NAS server, you must stop the

clustering services to edit the information.

The NAS server has one Network Interface Card (NIC) port on the

motherboard and supports two additional slots for NICs. These cards can be

either dual-port 10/100 cards or single-port gigabit cards. This support gives

the system up to five NIC ports (one on the motherboard and the capacity for

a maximum of two dual-port 10/100 NICs).
When you initially set up your NAS server, you need to configure the primary

NIC. Connect a laptop to the server management port using a null-modem

serial cable, and use terminal emulation software to log in. Access the text

interface to manually configure the primary NIC (unless you have Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol [DHCP]). You can use the Command View NAS

web interface to configure additional NICs. However, you must first configure

the network settings through the serial port or you will not be able to access

the HP NAS 8000 through the web-based user interface. See the

HP

Surestore NAS 8000 Installation Guide

for more information.
