the operating procedures and instructions described herein thoroughly before staring
your operation.
The array complies with FDA radiation performance standard 21 CFR subchapter J.
EMI regulation
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense. Testing was done with
shielded cables. Therefore, in order to comply with the FCC regulations, you must use
shielded cables with your installation.
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) test was done in the following configuration.
If trouble occurs in another configuration, a user might be requested to take
appropriate preventative measures:

Note: These figures are not kilo values.
SVP network configuration
In networking terms, a "network bridge" is software or hardware that
connects two or more networks so that they can communicate. For the SVP, a
network bridge refers to configuring the four onboard local-area network
(LAN) ports using the Bridge Connections setting in the Microsoft Windows
operating system. This arrangement obviates the need for an external
switching hub.
The following figure shows the SVP network configuration.
Physical LAN port assignment
The following figure shows the physical LAN port assignments on the SVP.
The IPMI port is an IPMI-dedicated port connected to the BMC in the SVP and
is invisible from the Windows operating system. The IPMI port can be used if
enabled in BIOS setting, but is not supported for the SVP.
Overview 19
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G200, G400, G600 Service Processor Technical Reference

Default IP address settings
The following table shows the SVP default IP addresses.
The bridge setting is configured at the Distribution Center
. The user connects
to the SVP using the IP address 192.168.0.15 for LAN1/3/4 ports
(management) or 10.0.0.100 for LAN2 port (maintenance), respectively
