Getting Started With Your System
• If multiple NICs are installed on a host, it is recommeded that you use 
different subnets for management and iSCSI data links.
• Before connecting any cables between the host server and storage array, 
physically label each port and connector.
• Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling 
power across the network. You must also ensure that critical network 
components are on separate power circuits.
 
NOTE: 
The illustrations in this document show cabling for only one PowerVault 
MD3600i series storage array in a SAN environment. The illustrations also show only 
the default IP addresses for the PowerVault MD3600i series storage array. To cable more 
than one PowerVault MD3600i series storage array in a SAN environment, 
see the Deployment Guide.
