Connect port e1b to port e1b and port e0b to port e0b (HA interconnect only).
Switchless cluster Connect port e1a to port e1a and port e0a to port e0a.
Switched cluster Connect port e1a of each node and port e0a of each node to the cluster interconnect switches.
Cable the e0M port and BMC ports to the management switches.
