Connecting your remote management card

What your remote management card does

The remote management card optionally sends a message to configured autosupport recipients, including Network Appliance Customer Support, when your appliance needs support.

Connecting your remote management card

To connect your remote management card to a LAN network and to power, complete the following steps, using the figure for reference.

Step	Action
1	Connect your remote management card to the LAN network through the LAN port.
2	Connect the power cord for the remote management card into the socket on the back of the card. Note The remote management card comes with a power cord for connection to its own external power source. Network Appliance recommends that you connect the remote management card to an uninterruptible power supply in case of a power outage.
3	When you install your equipment into a two-post or four-post rack, use the velcro strips to attach the remote management card power supply to an appropriate space on your rack.
4	Connect the power cord to a separate power source. Note If your system comes with a NetApp System Cabinet, do not plug the remote management card power cable into a power strip inside the cabinet. Instead, you must connect the remote management card to a separate power source.
