Master And Satellite Interconnect Module Cabling - HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup And Installation Manual

Figure 6: Single-frame cabling example

Master and satellite interconnect module cabling

HPE Synergy supports a composable fabric that spans multiple frames and includes master interconnect
modules (switches) and satellite modules (links). If your HPE Synergy configuration has a composable
fabric, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends cabling the HPE Synergy Ethernet interconnect modules
in a master switch configuration, so that multiple interconnect link modules can support the master
interconnect module.
HPE OneView considers all Synergy frames that share the Virtual Connect connectivity through satellite
interconnect link modules to be a single Logical Enclosure.
To cable switch modules to interconnect link modules, use the examples that follow or see the installation
instructions provided with the interconnect link module.
Master interconnect module with 10G interconnect link module cabling example
1. In a multiframe system, connect either the HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 Switch Module or the HPE Virtual
Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy as the master to a satellite HPE Synergy 10Gb
Interconnect Link Module in a different frame.
Using interconnect link cables, connect the L1, L2, L3, or L4 ports on the master to the L1 port on
each satellite.
