Connecting the Ethernet Cable
The Ethernet cable connects the host computer to the system’s command line
interface (CLI) for configuration operations and retrieving system status.
For a direct host-to-system Ethernet connection, use a straight-through or cross-
over RJ-45 to RJ-45 CAT5 Ethernet cable. You can also use a straight-through
or cross-over cable to connect the Memory Array to a router, hub, or other
network device, provided that the host and the system can communicate with
each other.
To connect the Ethernet cable to the Memory Array and the host computer:
1. Connect one RJ-45 connector on the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45
connector labeled ETHERNET on the rear of the Memory Array, as shown in
the figure below.
