Option 1: Cable a two-node switchless cluster
A controller module’s cluster interconnect and HA ports are cabled to its partner controller module. The
optional data ports, optional NIC cards, and management ports on the controller modules are connected
to switches.
Before you begin
You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the
switches.

remove it, turn it around and try again.
