ServerNet II Introduction 1-13
Figure 1-8. Example 3: Switched, Single-Fabric, Four-Node SAN
Figure 1-8 shows a single-fabric SAN topology containing one ServerNet II Switch and four
ServerNet II PCI Adapters installed in ProLiant servers. In this example, you connect either the
X port or Y port on the Adapters to the Switch. If you want to configure an X-fabric Switch,
connect the X port on the Adapter to the X-fabric Switch, as shown in Figure 1-8. If you want to
configure a Y-fabric Switch, connect the Y port on the Adapter to the Y-fabric Switch (not
shown). This produces a four-node SAN topology.
