Cabling guidelines
After modifying the SAN I/O Module’s IP address and domain name (if SAN I/O Module is in Fabric
OS Native mode), we recommend that you cable all external ports to fabric connections before
bringing the SAN I/O Module online. Refer to
Chapter 2, “Configuring the SAN I/O Module,” for
steps on modifying the IP address.
Begin by cabling ports 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 0. Ports 17 and 18 are licensed at the
factory as part of Dynamic Ports On Demand (DPOD). By cabling these ports first, you will not need
to move licenses to other ports you may have cabled.
