Cabling a switched cluster

All ports on the controllers are connected to switches; cluster interconnect, management, Fibre Channel, and data or host network switches.

You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.



Note
As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove it, turn it around and try again.
  1. Use the step-by step instructions to complete the cabling between the controllers and to the switches:
    StepPerform on each controller
    Cable the cluster interconnect ports to the 25 GbE cluster interconnect switches.

    Cable ports 1a through 1d to data or host network switches:





    Cable ports 2a through 2d to the FC host network switches:





    Cable the wrench ports to the management network switches with the RJ45 cables.



    DO NOT plug in the power cords at this point.
