Cabling a switched cluster

All ports on the controllers are connected to switches; cluster interconnect, management, Fibre Channel, and data or host network switches.

Before you begin

You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

Note: As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove it, turn it around and try again.

You can used the animation or the step-by step instructions to complete the cabling between the controllers and to the switches:

Step	Perform on each controller
	Cable the cluster interconnect ports to the 25 GbE cluster interconnect switches. e0c e0d
	Cable the wrench ports to the management network switches with the RJ45 cables.
	DO NOT plug in the power cords at this point.
