Connecting the storage system to the network
A controller enclosure can be connected to application servers using front-end ports (8 Gbit/s, or 16 Gbit/s
Fibre Channel, 10GE, 10 Gbit/s FCoE, GE electrical, 10GE electrical, or 56 Gbit/s InfiniBand).
10GE electrical interface modules support GE/10GE auto-sensing.
The following figures are an example of cable connections. The details like cable appearance and types of
interface modules may be different from those at your site.
The following figures show the connections by network cables and optical fibers. For details, see
