BEFORE INSTALLING CPU BLADE

Be sure to check the MAC addresses before installing a CPU blade in the Blade Enclosure.

Check MAC Address

A MAC address indicates the address specific for the network. It is a 12-digit alphanumeric string
starting with "003013." A CPU blade has two MAC addresses. Check the MAC addresses before
installing a CPU blade in the Blade Enclosure.
A MAC address is shown in the figure below:
The address of the LAN port depends on the number and letter of the last character of the MAC
address.
When the number/letter of the last character is an even number or A, C, or E:
The MAC address for LAN port 1 is as described on the label.
The MAC address for LAN port 2 can be obtained by adding 1 to the MAC address.
When the number/letter of the last character is an odd number or B, D, or F:
The MAC address for LAN port 1 can be obtained by adding 1 to the MAC address.
The MAC address for LAN port 2 can be obtained by adding 2 to the MAC address.
The MAC addresses can be checked by using a Windows or Linux command.
Windows
Enter "ipconfig /all" in the MS-DOS prompt or from [Run] in the Start menu to see the
indicated physical address part.
Linux
Enter "ifconfig" in the prompt to see the indicated "Hwaddr."

Installing DIMM

If your CPU blade is not equipped with memory, install DIMM's according to Chapter 9.
Two DIMM's must be populated in a pair.
