b. If using 10 Gb copper Ethernet with an SFP+ connector, use a qualified SFP+
copper cable.
c. If using 1/10 Gb fiber Ethernet, use MMF-850nm cables with LC duplex
connectors.
d. For 10GBaseT connections, use Cat6a S-STP Ethernet cables.
2. Enable data transfer Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity. Repeat for each connection.
a. Attach a Fibre Channel fiber optical cable (LC connector) to an I/O module
port on the controller, and attach the other end (LC connector) to an FC
switch or to an FC port on your server.
Power on the systems
Power the system on in the following order:
1. Expansion shelves.
2. Active node.
3. Standby node.
Complete the following steps to power on the system:
1. Connect power cables to each expansion shelf receptacle and attach the retention
clips.
2. Provide power to power-on each expansion shelf. The shelves power on when
plugged in. Ensure that each shelf power cable is connected to a different power
source.
Note
Wait approximately 3 minutes after all expansion shelves are powered on before
powering on the controller.
3. Provide power to power-on the controller. The system powers on when plugged in.
Note
The DD9500 system should be powered from redundant AC sources. This allows
one AC source to fail or be serviced without impacting system operation. PSU0
and PSU1 should be attached to one AC source. PSU2 and PSU3 should be
attached to the other AC source.
a. Connect power cables to each receptacle and attach the retention clips.
b. Ensure that each power supply is connected to a different power source.
