v
A 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection using a Cisco 4003 or 4006 switch.
v A 2 Gb Ethernet connection using a high-speed Myrinet switch. The Myrinet
switch uses optical cables for communication with cluster and storage nodes.
Keyboard/video/monitor
The keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) connects the ports on all nodes (cluster, storage,
and management) to a single console through a central switch.
Fibre Channel
The Fibre Channel provides Fibre-Channel connections between the storage nodes
and the storage servers and between the storage servers and the storage
expansion units.
Power distribution units
The power distribution unit provides the power to the cluster components. This
includes both the power to the entire cabinet through the PDUs and remote power
to the Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) boards and the port servers through the
power management module.
VLAN options
The Cluster 1350 supports a variety of VLAN options. There are six basic
configurations. Point-to-point wiring information is printed on each cable. Check the
information on the cables in the primary rack and see the following tables to
determine which VLAN option was used in the cluster.
