The remote management card enables notification of events to configured autosupport recipients when your storage appliance needs support, including Network Appliance Customer 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	If you are installing 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. Caution 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.
