Data network A wiring for R740XD servers

Use the following figure and table to connect the data network A cables.
Note: In this example, data switch ports have been intentionally left empty. These
empty ports can be used for other user-allocated purposes. If no other use is
required for the empty ports, nodes may be connected to the data switches
without leaving empty ports. However, ensure that on each node, each NIC is
connected to a different data switch (either Data Switch A or Data Switch B), in
order to prevent a single point of failure in case a switch fails.
