Chapter 3 System Installation with the Content-
Server 3000 Series
IMPORTANT: To ensure redundancy and proper failover in the event of a failure, you must connect each
controller to a separate switch or switch module.
Connecting with 10 GbE Network Switches
This section provides instructions for connecting a ContentServer 3000 to 10 GbE network
switches.

Figure 3–24: ContentServer 3000 and 10 GbE Network Switch Connections
To connect the ContentServers to network switches:
1. Starting with the left-hand controller, connect a red CAT-6 Ethernet cable to NIC 0. Connect
the other end of the cable to an open port on the first 1 GbE switch module. This will serve as
the BMC connection.
2. Using a white 10 GbE SFP+ cable, connect one of the 10 GbE ports on the left-hand
controller to an open port on the first 10 GbE switch module.
3. Using a white 10 GbE SFP+ cable, connect the remaining 10 GbE port on the left-hand
controller to an open port on the second 10 GbE switch module.
4. On the right-hand controller, connect a red CAT-6 Ethernet cable to NIC 0. Connect the other
end of the cable to an open port on the second 1 GbE switch module. This will serve as the
BMC connection for this controller.
