3. Attach cable management devices (as shown).
4. Place the bezel on the front of the system.
Step 3: Cable controllers to your network
You can cable the controllers to your network by using the two-node switchless cluster
method or by using the cluster interconnect network.
Option 1: Cable a two-node switchless cluster
The optional data ports, optional NIC cards, and management ports on the controller
modules are connected to switches. The cluster interconnect and HA ports are cabled on
both controller modules.
You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the
switches.
Be sure to check the direction of the cable pull-tabs when inserting the cables in the ports. Cable pull-tabs are
up for all onboard ports and down for expansion (NIC) cards.
