Figure 16 on page 37 shows the bottom server canister. This server canister has the same type and
number of adapters installed. However, on the bottom canister, the numbering of the PCI slots and ports
goes from left to right.

First port (Ethernet 1) of the four 10 Gbps Ethernet ports on each server canister provides system
management connections. The onboard 10 Gbps Ethernet ports use RJ-45 connections, not optical
connections. The 10 Gbps ports operate at 1 Gbps when connected to a 1 Gbps switch. A separate
technician port provides access to each I/O server canister for hardware check and setup. Table 16 on
page 37 describes each port.

Make the following connections for Elastic Storage System 3000:
• Each ESS 3000 system requires two Ethernet cables to connect it to an Ethernet switch. One cable
connects to port 1 of the top server canister, and the other cable connects to port 1 of the bottom
