Connecting to a Network
To allow remote setup and management of Xserve RAID, you need to make a standard
Ethernet connection to a network hub or server. You use this connection to configure your
RAID storage system and to administer the system with the software tools provided with it.
See the document “Using RAID Admin and Disk Utility” on the CD that came with your
system for details on using the management software.
Ideally, you should connect each Ethernet port to a separate network to provide redundant
monitoring capability.
Follow these steps to make the network connection.
1 Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on each of the RAID controller modules on
the back panel of the Xserve RAID system.
2 Connect the other end of each cable to a network hub or other network device.
