For examples of redundant, partially-redundant, and non-redundant host and drive
loop configurations, see “Fibre Channel loop configurations” on page 22.
Connecting secondary interface cables
Use the Ethernet interface ports on the back of the storage server to connect the
controllers for direct management of the storage subsystems. Connect a pair of
Ethernet cables from the storage-management station to the Ethernet ports for
Controller A (located on the left) and Controller B (located on the right) on the back
of the storage server. Figure 30 shows the location of the ports.
Note: The serial interface ports are intended to be used by service technicians to
perform diagnostic operations on the storage server.
Power cabling
The storage server uses two standard power cords. You can connect the power
cords to a primary power unit inside the rack, such as a properly grounded ac
distribution unit, or to an external source, such as a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
If you have not already done so, attach the power cords, using the following
illustration for the location of the component parts.
