Figure 2-2: Recommended PS5000 Power Configuration
Step 2: Connect the PS5000 to the Network
A PS5000 array includes two control modules of the same type and color. Each
control module has three network interface ports, labeled Ethernet 0, Ethernet 1,
and Ethernet 2.
One functioning network connection is required for array operation. Multiple
network connections are recommended for performance and high availability. See
Table 2-1 for additional network recommendations.
Obtain two to six network cables. Network cables are not included in the PS5000
array shipping box. Supported cables include Category 5E or Category 6 cables
with RJ45 connectors. Use Category 5 cables if they meet the TIA/EIA TSB95
standard.
At a minimum, connect network cables to Ethernet 0 on both control modules and
then connect the cables to a network switch. See Figure 2-3.
