f. Repeat these steps for the other four drawers.
6. Attach the front bezel.
Cabling the appliance
You must connect the two controllers to each other, connect the management ports on each
controller, and connect the 10/25-GbE ports on the E5700SG controller to the Grid Network and
optional Client Network for StorageGRID.
Before you begin
•
You have unpacked the following items, which are included with the appliance:
◦
Two power cords.
◦
Two optical cables for the FC interconnect ports on the controllers.
◦
Eight SFP+ transceivers, which support either 10-GbE or 16-Gbps FC. The transceivers can
be used with the two interconnect ports on both controllers and with the four 10/25-GbE
network ports on the E5700SG controller, assuming you want the network ports to use a
10-GbE link speed.
•
You have obtained the following items, which are not included with the appliance:
◦
One to four optical cables for the 10/25-GbE ports you plan to use.
◦
One to four SFP28 transceivers, if you plan to use 25-GbE link speed.
◦
Ethernet cables for connecting the management ports.
CAUTION: Risk of exposure to laser radiation – Do
not disassemble or remove any part of an SFP
transceiver. You might be exposed to laser radiation.
