connected to the other server prior to booting as a standalone server for the
diagnostic programs.
1. The “Connected to” column must be “unknown” for four ports, as shown.
2. The “Connected to” column must show that both “P3”s connect to each other.
3. The “Is Ready” just be “Yes” for all six ports.
4. The “Has Cable” must be “Yes” for all six ports.
