The private (internal) LAN cables connect the Control Station to the blades through
the blade enclosure's management modules. These cables and switches make up a
private network that does not connect to any external network.
The blade enclosure has two management modules, which are redundant. If module
A fails, module B assumes control of the private network. The Control Stations
communicate to the blades through the management modules.
Figure 41 shows VG2 management module with the private LAN ports 0, 1, and 2.

CAUTION
Do not connect any other cables to the management modules, such as public LAN
cables, or array management port cables.
To connect the private LAN cables:
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from port 1 on management module A to the
port labeled A on CS 0 (cable 1 in
2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from port 1 on management module B to the port
labeled B on CS 0 (cable 2 in
3. For dual Control Station systems, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from port 2 on
management module A to the port labeled A on CS 1 (cable 3 in
4. For dual Control Station systems, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from port 2 on
management module B to the port labeled B on CS 1 (cable 4 in
