6. Server 2, Mezzanine NIC, port 21. Server 1, NIC port 1
7. Server 1, Mezzanine NIC, port 22. Server 2, NIC port 1
8. Server 2, Mezzanine NIC, port 13. Server 1, NIC port 2
9. Server 1, Mezzanine NIC, port 14. Server 2, NIC port 2
10. Enclosure Manager NIC (includes iLO connections for both
servers)
5. E5000 enclosure power button
NOTE: E5300 Mezzanine NICs (6, 7, 8, and 9) are optional on E5300 servers.
For the initial configuration, the EMU port must be connected directly to the administrator's laptop
or PC, as described in “Configure the EMU and iLO management processors” (page 17).
The E5500 and E5700 enclosures have more NIC ports than the E5300 enclosure, and they
provide more network connection options. Figure 5 (page 13) shows the recommended management
network configuration.
While alternate network ports can be used for network-based backup, they can also be used for
EMU connectivity. As with the E5300, the Client/MAPI or Replication network can also be used
to establish EM network connectivity to the servers.
NOTE: NIC teaming is not recommended or supported with these interfaces.
By default, the E5000 Configuration Wizard sets up the following networks:
• Client/MAPI network
This network is labeled as the MAPI network on each server.◦
◦ The default setting is dynamic (DHCP), but you can use the E5000 Configuration Wizard
to configure static addressing.
• Replication network
◦ The E5000 Configuration Wizard automatically sets these static addresses by default
(but also allows you to change them):
– Server 1: 10.0.0.1
– Server 2: 10.0.0.2
Use the short Ethernet cable shipped with the messaging system to connect the Replication
network ports, as shown in Figure 4 (page 12) or Figure 5 (page 13).
