44 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
United States English is the only language supported by the HAFM and Element
Manager applications.
The HAFM appliance provides two auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN
connectors (RJ-45 adapters). The first adapter (LAN 1) attaches (optionally) to a
public customer intranet to allow access from remote user workstations. The
second adapter (LAN 2) attaches to a private LAN segment containing switches or
managed HP products.
HAFM Appliance Specifications
The following list summarizes hardware specifications for the HAFM appliance
notebook platform. Current platforms may ship with more enhanced hardware,
such as a faster processor, additional random-access memory (RAM), or a
higher-capacity hard drive or removable disk drive.
■ HP OmniBook 6200 PC with color monitor, keyboard, keyboard-mounted
trackpad (mouse), and power cord
■ 18 gigabyte (GB) or greater internal hard drive
■ 160 megabyte (MB) or greater RAM
■ Removable DVD/CD-ROM drive
■ Removable 100 MB disk drive. This replaces the DVD/CD-ROM drive in the
media bay after the initial configuration is complete
■ 56K internal modem
■ One internal 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter with RJ-45 connector (provides
public LAN interface to directors and remote clients)
