1 For SAN Slammers, connect FC cables from the network interface module

(NIM) ports on the Slammer to any open data ports available on two

separate FC network switches.

2 For NAS Slammers, connect a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) cable or a 10 gigabit

Ethernet (GbE) cable from each NIM port to an open data port on a

separate network switch.

Note: For both the SAN FC and NAS Ethernet connections, do not exceed the

maximum recommended cable lengths.
