Overview
Figures 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 show the topologies supported by Dell. The PowerVault™ 50F Switch has the
capability of supporting other topologies, but they have not been validated and are currently not supported by
Dell.
These configurations require the use of Dell OpenManage™ Storage Consolidation software. See the
documentation that came with the Dell OpenManage™ Storage Consolidation software for installation and
operating instructions.
