Steps
1. Connect the BMC management port on the SG6000-CN controller to the management network, using an
Ethernet cable.
Although this connection is optional, it is recommended to facilitate support.
2. Connect the two FC ports on each storage controller to the FC ports on the SG6000-CN controller, using
four optical cables and four SFP+ transceivers for the storage controllers.
