Ethernet Cables
In addition to the Ethernet cables listed in this section, you must also plan to provide
network connection points. If your system will have VTMs installed, consider providing
a maintenance network to connect the VTMs to a management PC from which you can
access the VTM’s Web interface.
W A R N I N G
!
Make sure network cables can be routed out of the
way of foot traffic.
N O T E
ftSSS for VMware vSphere does not support VTMs.
You must supply Ethernet cables for the following:

From two or four embedded Ethernet ports on the system and Ethernet ports on
U574F-LC or U575F Ethernet adapters to network connection points
N O T E
Two Ethernet ports are typically paired and teamed in
software for fault tolerance. Each member of the pair
requires an Ethernet cable.

From each ftScalable Storage RAID controller tray, if present, to a network
connection point, for Web management of ftScalable Storage systems

From a management PC to a network connection point, for Web management of
ftScalable Storage systems
The same network must provide access to the RAID controllers on the
ftScalable Storage RAID controller tray from the PC.
