10/25-GbE ports 1-4 on the
E5700SG controller
10-GbE or 25-GbE
Note: The SFP+
transceivers included
with the appliance
support 10-GbE link
speeds. If you want to
use 25-GbE link speeds
for the four network
ports, you must provide
SFP28 transceivers.
Connect to the Grid Network and the Client
Network for StorageGRID. See "10/25-GbE
port connections for the E5700SG controller."
Steps
1. Connect the E2800 controller to the E5700SG controller, using two optical cables and four of
the eight SFP+ transceivers.
