Connecting to the Network
To connect the MergePoint SP manager and service processors to the network:
1. Rack mount or place the MergePoint SP manager at the top of your server rack.
2. For a MergePoint SP5x00 manager: Using Ethernet cables, connect the LAN1 (eth0)
network port on the back of the appliance to the external network, and connect the LAN2
(eth1) port to the internal network. In a typical installation, the LAN1 port provides access
to the web interface, and the LAN2 port provides access to the service processors.

For a MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40 manager: Connect an Ethernet cable from the
primary Ethernet 10/100/GE (Gigabit Ethernet) port to the network. If desired, connect
an Ethernet cable to the secondary Ethernet 10/100 port and configure the port for
failover (see Configuring MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40 manager network settings on
page 22).
Connect an Ethernet cable from any private Ethernet port on the MergePoint
SP5x24/SP5x40 manager to dedicated Ethernet ports on a service processor or a
dedicated Ethernet port on a blade chassis that manages multiple blades.
3. Turn on the power switches of the connected devices.
NOTE: Service processors should be configured according to their manufacturer’s instructions.
Configuring the MergePoint SP Manager Basic Settings
The MergePoint SP manager is DHCP enabled by default. When you turn on the MergePoint
SP manager for the first time, it attempts to obtain eth0 and eth1 IP addresses from the DHCP
server. For installations where a DHCP server is not present or is unavailable, the following IP
addresses are automatically assigned: 192.168.0.10 for eth0 and 192.168.0.20 for eth1.
To configure the MergePoint SP manager IP address through a serial connection:
1. Connect a terminal or a workstation that is running a terminal emulation program to the
serial port.
