NOTE: The network port numbers on the system and the network adapters
identified in the Network Connections window by the operating system can be
reversed. For example, the NIC labeled as Gb 1 can appear as Local Area
Connection 2 in the Network Connections window. Check the NIC mapping by
physically unplugging the network connections one at a time and looking at the
Network Connections window. Identify which port corresponds to which network
connection and proceed with the network configuration accordingly.
NOTE: If a domain network is already installed, join the head node to the domain
and skip the steps in this section. For more information on installing the HPC pack,
see "Installing Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2" on page 12.
