NOTE:
The connections to the Fox switch are incorrect. The iDRAC connection to the Fox switch should connect to ports
17-32, NIC Port 1 should connect to ports 1-16.
The numbered front-end switch ports used for connecting to the ports on the EX500 nodes are shown in the following diagram.
Port 1 on the Hare switch (FE2) connects to port 4 on Node 1. Port 2 on the Hare switch (FE2) connects to port 4 on Node 2,
and so on. Similarly, Port 1 on the Rabbit switch (FE1) connects to port 3 on Node 1. Port 2 on the Rabbit switch (FE1) connects
to port 3 on Node 2, and so on.
