Figure 1–4: HAFM Server

The server is mounted in a slide-out drawer in an HP-supplied equipment rack. The HAFM server or Internet access to the embedded web server interface is required to install, configure, and manage the switch.

Although a configured switch operates normally without HAFM server intervention, an attached server should operate at all times to monitor switch operation, log events and configuration changes, and report failures.

The HAFM server provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps LAN connection, provided by an internal Ethernet adapter card. This LAN port attaches to the customer’s public intranet to allow access from remote user workstations. An optional Ethernet adapter card (not supplied by HP) can be installed in the personal computer memory card international association (PCMCIA) slot to provide a connection to a private LAN segment for dedicated switch communication.
