connect the Ethernet and fibre-channel cables.
Before you begin this task, see the customer’s cable-connection table to find out
where to connect the Ethernet and fibre-channel cables.
One or two Ethernet cables can be connected to the SAN Volume Controller
2145-CF8. The customer’s cable connection table indicates the number of cables to
connect. If only one cable is connected, the cable must be connected to Ethernet
port 1.
To connect the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 to the SAN and to the Ethernet
network, perform the following steps:
