FlashSystem 5015
the FlashSystem 5035
Connect networking cables
To provide connectivity for the system, you must connect networking cables to the appropriate ports on the control enclosure.
Ethernet ports on each node canister provide system management connections and iSCSI host connectivity. The onboard 10 Gbps Ethernet
ports use RJ-45 connections. The 10 Gbps ports operate at 1 Gbps when connected to a 1 Gbps switch. The technician port provides access
to initialization and service assistant functions.
