If not already installed and operational, install other components needed for the Lyve Rack system
setup according to their respective installation instructions. Consult with your Solution Partner or
Seagate Systems Engineer for more details.
You must procure your own QSFP28 cables for the Public Data Interface connection to the high-speed
switch. Either you can use a QSFP28 Y cable or two QSFP28 100GbE to 100GbE cables.
If Y cable is used, the high-speed switch port needs to be made aware of this, by preconfiguring the
high-speed switch port as a Breakout Port before attaching the Y cable to it. For example, if the high-
speed switch port is a 100G, it should be configured as 2x50G. For information on how this can be
done, refer to your high-speed switch user guide.
