2. Connect up to three CAT5 Ethernet cables to the 1 GbE ports (1, 2, and 3) (see Figure 32 on page 42).
3. If the DXi4700 is configured with an optional additional Ethernet adapter (10 GbE or 10 GBase-T),
connect the appropriate cable type:
l Dual 10 GbE (SFP+) Option (DXi4700 G1) - Connect up to two 10 GbE cables (optical or Twinax)
to the optional 10 GbE ports (4 and 5) (see Figure 32 on page 42).
l Dual 10 GbE (SFP+) Option (DXi4700 G2) - Connect up to two 10 GbE cables (optical or Twinax)
to the optional 10 GbE ports (4 and 5) (see Figure 33 on page 43).
l Dual 10 GBase-T Option - Connect up to two CAT6 Ethernet cables to the optional 10GBase-T
ports (4 and 5) (see Figure 34 on page 43).
Caution: CAT6 Ethernet cables can be easily damaged when tightened with plastic zip ties. Use
hook and loop cable straps instead.
4. (VTL and Multi-Protocol configurations only) Connect Fibre Channel cables to each Fibre Channel port
in slot 3 (see Figure 35 on page 43). Fibre Channel ports 0 and 1 are used for virtual tape library (VTL)
host connection.
5. (Multi-protocol configurations only) Connect Fibre Channel cables to each Fibre Channel port in slot 2
(see Figure 35 on page 43). Fibre Channel ports 2 and 3 are used for path to tape (PTT) connections.
6. Connect each power supply to a primary and secondary AC power source using the provided power
cables (see Figure 36 on page 44). Use the attached straps to secure the power cords to the chassis.
Note: Quantum recommends connecting each power cord to a separate AC circuit to ensure
system availability in case of a power failure. Power supplies should be checked periodically for
audible and LED warnings
