Cabling The Appliance - NetApp StorageGRID Webscale 10.4 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Cabling the appliance

You must connect the two controllers to each other with SAS interconnect cables, connect the
management ports to the appropriate management network, and connect the 10 GbE ports on the
E5600SG controller to the Grid network and optional Client network for StorageGRID Webscale.
About this task
When connecting the cables, refer to the following diagram, which shows the E2700 controller on the
top and the E5600SG controller on the bottom. The diagram shows the SG5660 model; the
controllers in the SG5612 model are side by side instead of stacked.
