Step 2. To cable your storage, see “Cabling controllers to drive shelves” on page 22.
Cabling a switched cluster, Ethernet network configuration
Management network, Ethernet data network, and management ports on the controllers are connected to
switches. The cluster interconnect ports are cabled to the cluster interconnect switches.
Before you begin
See your network administrator for help connecting to the switches.
Step 1. Cable your system using the following steps:
Note: As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click,
