1.
Connect the Ethernet switches to each other and to the Fibre Channel switches using
and
2.
Connect the Ethernet switches to the nodes and base array enclosures if not already connected.
If installing multiple arrays:
a.
Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet switch #1 to RAID controller 2 of additional
arrays in order (array 1, array 2, etc.). Use the switch #1 ports in this order: 20, 17, 18,
15, 16, 13, 14.
b.
Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet switch #2 to RAID controller 1 of additional
arrays in order (array 1, array 2, etc.). Use the switch #2 ports in this order: 20, 17, 18,
15, 16, 13, 14.
NOTE:
Each rack supports up to four arrays.
3.
If installing a second connectivity kit in rack 4:
a.
Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet switch #3 to RAID controller 2 of additional
arrays in order (array 13, array 14, etc.). Use the switch #3 ports in this order: 19, 20,
17, 18.
b.
Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet switch #4 to RAID controller 1 of additional
arrays in order (array 13, array 14, etc.). Use the switch #4 ports in this order: 19, 20,
17, 18.
WARNING!
Do not connect cables to unused ports on Ethernet switch #1 or #2. Doing so could
result in data loss.
NOTE:
Do not secure the Ethernet cables at this time. You will secure them with the Fibre Channel
cables.
