Step 8. Attaching the Ethernet cables

This task applies if you are installing a control enclosure only or a control enclosure plus one or more
expansion enclosures.
This task assumes that your initial planning has determined where the Ethernet cables are to be located.
Attention: The IP address 192.168.70.121 is preconfigured as the service address on Ethernet port 1 on
canister 1. The IP address 192.168.70.122 is preconfigured as the service address on Ethernet port 1 of
canister 2. Do not attach Ethernet cables to the network if a conflict exists with these IP addresses. If
these IP addresses conflict with any devices in your network, use the Set or reset service IP address
option of the initialization tool that is described in step "Step 13. Configuring the system" on page 25 to
set the service IP addresses on any node that has a conflict before continuing. If necessary, perform the
procedure on both nodes. See the IBM Storwize V7000 Troubleshooting, Recovery, and Maintenance Guide PDF
on the DVD for further information about setting service IP addresses using a USB key.
1. For each node canister in the control enclosure, connect an Ethernet cable between Ethernet port 1 of
the canister and an enabled port on your Ethernet switch or router. Port 1 can be used for
management, service, and iSCSI.
Note: Ethernet cables are not supplied as part of your order. A CAT 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
is the minimum requirement for an Ethernet cable.
Ensure that cables are installed in a tidy manner to reduce the risk of cable damage when Storwize
V7000 replaceable units are removed or inserted.
2. Optionally attach Ethernet cables between Ethernet port 2 on each node canister and your Ethernet
network. Port 2 can be used for management and iSCSI.

Step 9. Attaching the longwave SFP transceivers

This task applies if you are using longwave SFP transceivers and have ordered longwave SFP
transceivers.
Attention: The shortwave SFP transceivers are preinstalled in the control enclosure. No further action is
required if you are using the shortwave SFP transceivers.
1. For both node canisters in the control enclosure, identify which of the four shortwave SFP transceivers
must be replaced with longwave SFP transceivers.
2. Remove the shortwave SFP transceivers.
3. Plug the longwave SFP transceivers into ports 1-4, as needed.
For more information about removing and replacing hardware components, see the "Removing and
replacing parts" topics in the Storwize V7000 Information Center to find out how to perform these
procedures.

Step 10. Attaching the Fibre Channel cables

This task applies if you are installing a control enclosure and are connecting it to your Fibre Channel
network.
This task assumes that your initial planning has determined where the Fibre Channel cables are to be
located.
1. Remove any protective end covers from the cables or the SFP transceivers.
2. Attach the Fibre Channel cables to a Fibre Channel switch.
