Ethernet and RS-232 ports
There is one Ethernet port and one RS-232 (serial) port on each controller (Controller A
and Controller B). Use the Ethernet ports if you want to directly manage storage
subsystems and use the RS-232 ports for diagnostic services. The following figure shows
the location of these ports.
