Connecting Ethernet cables to 1 Gbps iSCSI 4-port host interface adapters
If you installed an optional 1 Gbps iSCSI 4-port host interface adapter, you can use Ethernet cables to connect the system to your Ethernet SAN.
About this task
Note: The Ethernet cables are
connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the same number of cables connected.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
- Identify the correct pair of Ethernet cables for the Ethernet ports labeled 3 in the left canister and the right canister.
- Connect the appropriate cable to each port.
- For each additional pair of Ethernet ports in the right and left canisters, identify the correct pair of cables and connect them.
Results
Figure 1
shows an example configuration with a pair of Ethernet cables connected to port 3 in each canister,
and another pair connected to port 4 in each canister.
