2. To cable your storage, see 

Cabling controllers to drive shelves

Option 2: Cable a switched cluster, unified network configuration

Management network, UTA2 data network, and management ports on the controllers are
connected to switches. The cluster interconnect ports are cabled to the cluster
interconnect switches.

You must have contacted your network administrator for information about connecting the system to the
switches.

Be sure to check the illustration arrow for the proper cable connector pull-tab orientation.

As you insert the connector, you should feel it click into place; if you do not feel it click, remove
it, turn it around and try again.

Steps

1. You can use the graphic or the step-by step instructions to complete the cabling between the controllers

and the switches:
