Steps
1. Connect the BMC management port on the SG6000-CN controller to the management network,
using an Ethernet cable.
Although this connection is optional, it is recommended to facilitate support.
2. Connect the two FC ports on each storage controller to the FC ports on the SG6000-CN
controller, using four optical cables and four SFP+ transceivers for the storage controllers.
3. Connect the network ports on the SG6000-CN controller to the appropriate network switches,
using TwinAx cables or optical cables and SFP+ or SFP28 transceivers.
Note:
The four network ports must use the same link speed. Install SFP+ transceivers if you
plan to use 10-GbE link speeds. Install SFP28 transceivers if you plan to use 25-GbE link
speeds.
•
If you plan to use Fixed port bond mode (default), connect the ports to the StorageGRID Grid
and Client Networks, as shown in the table.
Port
Connects to...
Port 1
Client Network (optional)
Port 2
Grid Network
Port 3
Client Network (optional)
Port 4
Grid Network
•
If you plan to use the Aggregate port bond mode, connect one or more of the network ports to
one or more switches. You should connect at least two of the four ports to avoid having a
single point of failure. If you use more than one switch for a single LACP bond, the switches
must support MLAG or equivalent.
4. If you plan to use the Admin Network for StorageGRID, connect the Admin Network port on the
SG6000-CN controller to the Admin Network, using an Ethernet cable.
5. Connect management port 1 (P1) on each storage controller (the RJ-45 port on the left) to the
management network for SANtricity System Manager, using an Ethernet cable.
Do not use management port 2 (P2) on the storage controllers (the RJ-45 port on the right). This
port is reserved for technical support.

SG6060: Cabling the optional expansion shelves
If you are using expansion shelves, you must connect them to the E2860 controller shelf. You can
have a maximum of two expansion shelves for each SG6060 appliance.
Before you begin
•
You have the two SAS cables shipped with each expansion shelf.
•
You have access to the E-Series instructions.
Step
1. Connect each expansion shelf to the E2860 controller shelf as shown in the diagram.
