Cabling the appliance

You must connect the two controllers to each other, connect the management ports on each controller,
and connect the 10/25-GbE ports on the E5700SG controller to the Grid Network and optional Client
Network for StorageGRID Webscale.
Before you begin
• You have Ethernet cables for connecting the management ports.
• You have optical cables for connecting the four 10/25-GbE ports (these are not provided with the
appliance).
• If you plan to use the 25-GbE link speed for these ports, you have SFP28 transceivers.
Eight SFP+ transceivers are included with the appliance shipment. These transceivers
Note:
support either 10GbE or 16Gbps FC and can be used with the two interconnect ports on both
controllers and with the four 10GbE/25GbE network ports on the E5700SG controller (assuming
you want the network ports to use a 10-GbE link speed).
Caution: Risk of exposure to laser radiation – Do not disassemble or remove any part of an SFP
transceiver. You might be exposed to laser radiation.
About this task
