Primary node: connects to port 0 of Fibre Channel switch #2 in rack 1 (FC SW2)
via FC cable.
FC storage port 2
1
Secondary nodes: connects to the next available port on Fibre Channel switch #2
(FC SW2) via FC cable. Cable secondary nodes to the switch ports in this order:
10, 1, 11, 2, 12, 3, 13.
Primary node: connects to port 0 of Fibre Channel switch #1 in rack 1 (FC SW1)
via FC cable.
FC storage port 1

Secondary nodes: connects to your system's external network via FC cable.
Must always connect to the customer-provided external network via Ethernet cable.
NIC 1
4
Secondary nodes: connects to the customer-provided external network when using
replication via Ethernet cable.
Primary node: connects to port 1 of Ethernet switch #1 (SW1) via Ethernet cable.
NIC 3
5
Secondary nodes: connects to the next available port on Ethernet switch #1 (SW1)
via Ethernet cable. Cable secondary nodes to the switch ports 2 through 8 in
sequential order.
Primary node: connects to port 1 of Ethernet switch #2 (SW2) via Ethernet cable.
NIC 4
6
Secondary nodes: connects to the next available port on Ethernet switch #2 (SW2)
via Ethernet cable. Cable secondary nodes to the switch ports 2 through 8 in
sequential order.
NOTE:
Not all systems use all of the components listed in
The primary node, node 0, is on the bottom of the stack of nodes. From the bottom to the top they
are: node 0, node 1, node 2, node 3. (The number of nodes will vary from system to system.)
1.
Cable the primary node using
2.
If you are installing more than one node, cable the nodes using
. Start at
node 1 just above the primary node (node 0) and work your way up the rack.
3.
Using Velcro®, secure the cables to the left side of the rack.
4.
Install loopback plugs on the nodes in all unused Fibre Channel ports.
