Installing hardware for direct (out-of-band) management
If you are using the direct (out-of-band) method to manage storage subsystems,
use Ethernet connections from a management station to each controller. You must
install at least one management station and then attach Ethernet cables to each
management station and two Ethernet cables per FAStT700 Storage Server.
Figure 5 shows direct (out-of-band) managed storage subsystems.

You will connect fiber-optic and Ethernet cables to each controller later in the
installation process.
After you install the hardware, if your Fibre Channel network environment is
configured for cluster servers, go to “Installing hardware for cluster servers”.
If you are installing drive enclosures in a rack cabinet, go to “Installing drive
enclosures in a rack cabinet” on page 11. Otherwise, go to “Chapter 2. Connecting
the FAStT700 Storage Server” on page 13.
Installing hardware for cluster servers
If the Fibre Channel network environment into which you are installing the storage
subsystem is configured for cluster servers, you must install two host bus adapters
per cluster node. Figure 6 on page 10 shows Fibre Channel connections using a
dual-path configuration for fully redundant environments.
