Installing VLS1000i cables 1. Connect a standard Ethernet (CAT-5e or better) cable from your local IP network (LAN) to the 10/100/1000 NIC 1 (RJ-45) connector (Figure 10). 1 2 1 NIC connector (RJ-45) 1 2 Figure 10 Appliance rear view 10700 AC power connector WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 (NIC) connectors. For best results, HP strongly recommends that you use a dedicated GbE network to share the storage resources on the VLS among multiple backup servers. To ensure optimum performance, always use the appropriate patch cables to connect the VLS to the backup-server storage network. To select the appropriate cables, use the following guidelines: • You must use Category 5e (or better) cables for GbE connections. • If you intend to connect the VLS to a 100 BaseT network, use Category 5 (or better) shielded (screened) or unshielded 100-ohm twisted-pair RJ-45 network cables. • The maximum length of cable for any Ethernet-based network connection is 328 feet (100 meters). NOTE: For smaller environments, you can attach the VLS directly to a single application/backup server without the user of a switch. If the server has a Gbit connection you can do this using a standard Category 5E cable, but if the server has a 10/100Mbit connection then you need a special LAN cross-over cable (not included). 2. Connect the appliance power supply AC power connector to an AC power source using the power cable provided (Figure 10). WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. • Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment. • Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the node. 3. Press the power button located on the front of the appliance. 28 Setting up the VLS1000i hardware

WARNING!
To
reduce
the
risk
of
electric
shock,
fi
re,
or
damage
to
the
equipment,
do
not
plug
telephone
or
telecommunications
connectors
into
RJ-45
(NIC)
connectors.
For
best
results,
HP
strongly
recommends
that
you
use
a
dedicated
GbE
network
to
share
the
storage
resources
on
the
VLS
among
multiple
backup
servers.
To
ensure
optimum
performance,
always
use
the
appropriate
patch
cables
to
connect
the
VLS
to
the
backup-server
storage
network.
To
select
the
appropriate
cables,
use
the
following
guidelines:
•
You
must
use
Category
5e
(or
better)
cables
for
GbE
connections.
•
If
you
intend
to
connect
the
VLS
to
a
100
BaseT
network,
use
Category
5
(or
better)
shielded
(screened)
or
unshielded
100-ohm
twisted-pair
RJ-45
network
cables.
•
The
maximum
length
of
cable
for
any
Ethernet-based
network
connection
is
328
feet
(100
meters).
NOTE:
For
smaller
environments,
you
can
attach
the
VLS
directly
to
a
single
application/backup
server
without
the
user
of
a switch.
If
the server
has
a Gbit
connection you
can do this using
a standard
Category
5E
cable,
but
if
the
server
has
a
10/100Mbit
connection
then
you
need
a
special
LAN
cross-over
cable
(not
included).
2.
Connect
the
appliance

WARNING!
To
reduce
the
risk
of
electric
shock
or
damage
to
the
equipment:
•
Do
not
disable
the
power
cord
grounding
plug.
The

safety
feature.
•
Plug
the
power

that
is
easily
accessible
at
all
times.
•
Unplug
the
power
cord
from
the
power
supply
to
disconnect
power
to
the
equipment.
•
Do
not
route
the
power
cord
where
it
can
be
walked
on
or
pinched
by
items
placed
against
it.
Pay
particular
attention
to
the
plug,
electrical
outlet,
and
the
point
where
the
cord
extends
from
the
node.
